'One hour to departure' is the name of this painting by the Polish painter Wiktor Najbor.
The card was sent by Eva from Spain. I am happy that Eva sticked the Spanish Europa 2015 stamp on the back.
Out of all participating countries, and besides the Dutch stamps which of course I already have used for outgoing mail, this is the first Europe 2015 stamp I see in real!
This year's Europe stamp theme is 'Old toys', and I love this wooden train. The stamp even smells after wood!
Thank you very much, moltes gràcies, Eva!
Me too, I have only receive the Dutch ones!

Yes it has arrived, thank you very much, Eva!!!! I will blog it, but still am thinking of a way to picture it the best way. To be continued (on the animals blog :-) )
VerwijderenI have received today your snail-postcard, and you told me that. I was worried because I wasn't sure about the postage. Glad it has arrived! :)
VerwijderenI don;t know if the UK is even doing a Europa stamp this year? Does it really smell of wood!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI really smelt when I bought the stamps. I hope the smell has survived!
VerwijderenI think I have sent one of these to you, John. I will sent another one to you, just in case :)
Yes, it does smell! You can see the surface of the stamp is different, not as smooth like the usual paper stamps.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAnd as far as I could ser, I didn't see UK stamps on the Europe website.
(I would love to receive the Danish one, the Lego, and this Spanish train, are my favourites!)(but alas I don't know Danish snail mailing people so far...)
I have also seen de Danish Lego. I think this is my favourite too, along with the Czech Republic one. Well... I love too many of them!
