We all know were babies come from, right? And Yes, it is high time someone should honour the relentless baby carriers that for ages have ensured the continuation of our species. 

Muito obrigado, Eric!... But... quintuplets... I am not sure I have the stamina to handle it.... after all my two girls were enough of a chore... ;-)

The 5 self-adhesive 0,39 €/85 ct stamp booklet on the cover was issued by PTT POST, now Post NL on  02JUL2021.

I do believe that these are stamps that several postal administrations every once in a while issue that are meant to be used in special occasions, like the birth of a new child, a wedding or any other social relevant occasion.

The 0.02 € postage make-up stamp was issued on 02-09-2002 while the 0.03 € was issued on 11DEC2006.

As so often unfortunately happens with Dutch postmarks, the place of posting is illegible.

Update:

Again Eric comes to the rescue: The place of posting was Voorschoten, a town in the province of West Holland, with a population of 25,650, close to the Hague, which Eric says  is very beautiful, somethng I totally believe.
