Cover from Bermuda

When I came to know that I going to get a card from Bermuda I was excited and I was eagerly waiting for it.  I got it today, Thanks to Carol Griffith who sent a cover with a few surprises. In addition to the envelope she also sent me some used stamps and couple of Bermuda coins. 

Thanks a lot Carol for enriching both my Philatelic and Numismatic collection.

I have received my very first card from Serbia on one of my theme "People at Work".  Thanks Milan for sending this First petrol bunk of Belgrade (1934) card and nice Christmas stamp and "200th Anniversary of Serbian Army" stamp along with definitives.  Take a look at the cover/envelope.





50th and 100th Anniversary of Airmail

George and Christine Powell surprised me with a 100th Anniversary of the first Airmail Postcard MS from South Africa and 50th Anniversary of First Official Air Mail Australia - UK FDC.

While the the South African MS is a nice addition to both my themes "Flights of Fancy" and "Odd and Unique stamps", the Australian FDC very well fit into my "Flights of Fancy".  Thanks a lot
George and Christine Powell.
