Hello, I managed to get to the PO BOX today… big thank you to everyone who sent me Christmas cards and stamps.. thank you so very much. I got some brilliant A380 stamps and covers .. am I lucky or what 
Last day at work for two weeks. So again was hectic getting everything finished, I guess its the same for everyone so that is not really news is it
As for stamps…... I said I would talk and show just Christmas stamps this month so tonight I have the GB 1984 stamps on a cover. I do like these stamps, as they are said to show the costume and colour of the period.
I wrote last night about 1907 and had some excellent events from people; including
- The Concorde made its 1st supersonic flight (700 mph /1,127 km/h) in March
- The Isle of Wight Festival 1970 took place on East Afton Farm off the coast
of - Jimi Hendrix (who featured at the
earlier) died of a barbiturate overdose in - Janis Joplin died of a heroin overdose inside her hotel room in
- The Beatles disbanded
I was surprised to read these myself and remember them all… I even saw Jimi Hendrix that year.. well I think it was that year; don’t they say if you can remember it you weren’t there
What about 1984 though. I remember reading the book many years before 1984 and it seem so unreal at the time and anyway 1984 was years away then. Now we have cameras everywhere and so many of the themes in the book are just everyday life. So who wrote the book.. easy one this
First email with authors name wins the cover.. please include you mailing address with the email to cddstamps@gmail.comHave a wonderful Christmas, I hope the weather is acceptable wherever you are in the world… I have to be honest and say it is a little to hot hear at the moment.. but I will cope, maybe another cold drink will help, more bolly I think, well it is Christmas afterall
Best wishes.. Michael
