travel

These new stamps "celebrate the golden age of travel". If anyone is paying attention to the news, this summer of 2022 is as far from the golden age as possible! Note that none of these celebrate flying. Air Canada and Toronto's airport have been reported to have the dubious distinction of being the worst for service, disruptions, flight and baggage delays ... in the world.

I'm hoping all of you in Europe and the UK find a way of staying cool - and safe.

  1. No doubt that my favourite here is the lighthouse :)
    Flying in Europe is also complicated at this moment, and staying cool not possible! :/
