To open my mailbox like someone opening a surprise box and to feel the pleasure of discovery unleashed by an envelope decorated with stamps.
To be part of the world and also to discover it this way, with the help of those who share this vision.

It has been a while since I last got a letter from the UK, so it is good to see one flying into my mail box. Thanks a Lot Faisal.



- The stamp on the top right corner of the envelope is part of a set of  9 1st Class stamps issued on 15MAY2012 dedicated to British fashion designers. on this particular stamp the designer honoured  is Ossie Clark (1942 – 1996) whose creations made him a central name of the 60's fashion in the UK.


- The Black and White 1st class stamp was part of a 12 1st classs stamp set issued on 07JAN2014, themed on Classic Children's TV series.

The series highlighted on this particular stamp is Andy Pandy, an originally Black and White series that was first aired in 1950, with 26 episodes.

It went colour in 1970 with a total of 13 episodes, and in 2002 a revival set of 16 episodes was produced and aired.

The Postmark although hard to read seems to be from Didcot, in South Oxfordshire, England.
