My predictive text will put “My sin “ when I speak of my eldest son, and we were married honestly!
And with a month or two to spare!
It annoys me as I know my parents and in laws were counting up , and I prayed he did not come early ,as it was a bit too soon ,weight OK but he was so cold ,in blazing weather, I wanted to have him at home but I think he needed oxygen , it has done no harm ,he is brilliant .
So my sin ,I must phone as he is not well at the moment .
Haven’t we had a laugh with this topic!
Viktoria.

Aahg the stanley gibbons shop phone number was incorrect 😭

Has the shop closed like everything else is it all online now🧐

Very hard to get outside the box questions answered on line or is that just me ?😉

Can someone be my eyes and brainpower on this please and get back to me with an update number for a stamp company or a stamp dealers number

Re countries changing names, the country known as Swaziland is now Eswatini. It's been in the news this month. I was mystified when I heard the name on radio news. Swaziland/Eswatini has a king.

Perhaps you are reading more into the album omitting things than needed? My first stamp album (c1963) was fairly basic and many of the stamps I was given didn't have a place in the album. Usually there was just a representative selection (if a stamp was made in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. denominations there might only be space of 1, 2, 5).
It was only when I got the next one (a proper 'adult' one where pages could be added) that most of my stamps had a proper place.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
