Writing up my latest thematic article and I came across these wonderful Valentine stamps issued in Finland in 1998. I've not seen stamps with a 'scratch' feature before. Anyone got more examples to share? #philately #timbre #collectstamps #valentinesday #finland

Kids are absolutely hilarious. Me (to group of kids): ‘Can anyone see the Man in the Moon?’ Kid (6yo): ‘See him? I know him. Lives in Penygroes. Nice boy.’ So there you have it. The Man in the Moon apparently has relocated to Penygroes 😂🌝🌙

A few weeks ago I was in conversation with Robin Rees about #astronomy & cats! Robin sent me 3 books written by Dr. Brian May David Eicher & Brian's PhD thesis! The two small packages are from Brian's LSC Company which include astronomy themed stereoscopic cards. Thank U!
