Hi guys, I've been sick lately and have not been able to actively particpate, however, I have been doing lots of reading and have found something I do not own YET, but I absolutley ADORE! Please post your pictures of your New Zealand Victory stamps if you have them, help a girl feel better! Theyre stunning!

lux1288, I just checked for these Victory stamps in my catalogue and find them to be fascinating. I only have a few hundred New Zealand stamps but look forward to hopefully acquiring these in the future.

You're welcome, and I was remiss in not wishing you well ! You need perhaps, some west australian weather 50 odd days straight over 30 degrees.

Thanks again Rod :) However, I'm not too sure I'd enjoy such conditions! haha! I lived in Florida for 5 years, and I must say I'm happy back home in freezing cold Nova Scotia, it's -6 deg right now!. It was too hot down south! I'll remain curled on my couch with a hot cloth on my nose whilst reading everyones posts on here...downtime, ahhh. My husband jokes SCF is my new Facebook, haha! He's right :) |

-6 ! heaven forbid. West Australian thermometers do not go down that low, we have to import them from Victoria Australia where they have similar ridiculous weather. Oh well, back to the pina colada, sun glasses and seagrass sombrero. It's March and I have yet to turn on the hot water in the shower.  |

Come, now, Rodney. I've been 50 years or so in Melbourne, and I can remember it dropping below 0 degrees C on maybe three or four occasions. It's currently around 20. Sooo much nicer than that dreadful weather on the other side of the Nullarbor  |

Ugh! I don't envy you one bit, Rod. I don't like the heat on a good day ... but 50 straight days at that temp? My hometown in Portland, Oregon (Northwestern US) had less than 10 days at that temp last summer ... and that was too many! |

Riley, I think I can put that down to some of you lot having an inuit gene present somewhere  Such temperature do offer a great excuse for stamp collecting though  Nice scan Phil! I too would like to see a set of high definition mint unhinged. Certainly a nice set of stamps. |
