My recent trip to England was not about stamps but about Family and the usual holiday stuff.
However, I did manage one sneaky sidetrack to the Charing Cross Market in London on the morning my Wife and daughter went to the London Dungeon, one of the major tourist sites. Their insistence that I come was ignored....I wonder why !
Two hours at the Market is not enough but I did find some nice items which I smuggled back to Israel.





As you see above, I managed to add one more to the Mercury Air Mail Exhibition label collection !



Above a WIPA Exhibition sheet from 1965 on Unwatermarked paper.
Below, Railway Stamps.



Followed by a couple of nice Jaipur Court Fee Revenues.




Below, a lovely sheet issued by the Crown Agents to comemmorate the Queen Mum.



Finally, and my favourite, a set of Edinburgh People's League Delivery labels from 1962 in marginal Blocks of four. These, at least for me, are difficult to come by and usually pricey so I was ecstatic when I saw these for a very low price.
The problem is, I still need many of the other locations !





That's all for the mo.

Londonbus1.....has to work a little

No worries. I had very limited time anyway, next time I hope.
Sadly, the Madhatter wasn't there this time, I was looking forward to it too. But there was enough to keep me amused for a couple of hours or more.
I still have one of those Irish Se-tenant pairs for you which I forgot to hand over in May.....you paid for them too !!

Be in touch.

Finally, Cinderellas
the forum can relax in some sort of normality now,
I was suffering withdrawal symptoms.

What? You didn't want to go to the dungeon? I would of gone so I could keep an eye out on her in case she got any ideas on how to incarcerate you at home. You'd know because of that gleam in her eyes that she would get.

She already does that. That's why I didn't go.
