Hello everyone,..  yes I am still alive..  thinking about stamps but really no time to do much else.   I think I have withdrawal symptoms..    I have missed some eBay lots I wanted to bid on.. so that tells you how stressed for "me" time I am.

But I did find this in my emal .. thanks Eric.. a fellow Canadian no doubt ..  

What a lovely stamp..   compared to the the absolute rubbish I am seeing from Royal Mail in the UK,,  ok so I wont whinge anymore.. after all, I am not collecting modern GB these days am I..  Well actually I am not collecting much as have no time.

Keep writing to me .. I enjoy your emails even if I don't reply to them all.  All ideas and your scans of stamps welcome....  best wishes..   enjoy your stamps.. Michael
