Lebanon, 1937.
Then I was a kid in the 80s we'd use 'Beruit' to indicate something desolate, destroyed. Walking into somewhere scruffy you might exclaim "Bloody hell it looks like Beruit in here"
Over time things improved and it fell out of use. Hmm.
Well exactly why is same value to same value and upward incline?
Did no one proof read that article?
I have this set in the German occupations section of my Germany album, but today I noticed a couple of the imperfs in a random old album I have floating about
Have some Haitian airmail stamps from the 20s and 30s
Stamp club* had a speaker doing 'the Royal tour' a few weeks back so this caught my eye.
* They probably hate that I call it that rather than Leeds Philatelic Society ;)
I really must visit Santorini sometimes. I love Greek islands
I tried to avoid France today so enjoy the only one that wasn't mostly seascape I could find of the Falklands
The motherland, which handily can be I or E depending on need
Mine is Rachel Reeves. Who prior to all this *waves at the horrors* was actually a pretty good constituency mp
When the Austo-Hungarian empire ceased they swapped briefly to Crowns and then from 1924 until the arrival of the Euro in 2001 (with a small WW2 gap ofc) it was Groschen time!
Even before 1919 Austrian stamps have several different currencies possibly to keep me on my toes.

I've been playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2* for the past few weeks. It's set in medieval Bohemia and the currency is the Groschen. Ironically Czech stamps do not have Groschen on them as it was long gone by then.
*Brilliant game!
I thought she reminded me of the aardman animations tortoise
Yet here I am, so angry about labour's campaign. I never expected them to try and aim so low with their nonsense about drugs and prostitution.
The lorry with a "green = drugs and prostitution for your kids" type message on it was fucking outrageous
I was so concerned I woke up in the middle of the night to check
I too went with Denmark
Special invisible stamps!
I think I used this set before but they are beautiful
China
Bulgaria
Here are two different styles from Spanish Andorra
ha I nearly used the photo ones at the bottom but went with two others in the end
I nearly played Venice in peril the other day but got distracted
A scotch cart from Zimbabwe, no idea what makes it scotch
I too have Yugoslavia. I thought these were a nice pair
I'm out for X for sure
Jumping on the bandWAGON.

Thought I'd lean into whimsy today with this lenticular thunderbirds stamp I received on the envelope of an order from @philatelovely.bsky.social It's from a souvenir sheet celebrating Gerry Anderson. Love me a bit of lenticularity and a bit of whimsy
South Africa
Thailand.
If people are riding it or it's pulling something with people in it's a vehicle right?
