Another Philatelic Holiday ?

Today is going to be a day of mixed feelings.......very much so.

I have just returned from taking my 'little' girl to start her army service. It was a very emotional trip [at least for me], and I was stuck for words when the time came to say goodbye. As the bus, full of 18 year-old female 'newbies', pulled away, it was hard to hold back the tears.

In another hour, I will be leaving for the airport and my UK holiday will begin. But it seems such a long way off and yet I know it will all be OK once I arrive and start to hit the Philatelic trail !

The trail will start tomorrow with a visit to London's longest-running Stamp Fair, always a great event although it is a few years since I attended.

Saturday will see another visit to an excellent Stamp Fair, one of my favourites, in Mark's Tey, Colchester. There is a wonderful dealer in Cinderella material attending..............

Then jump forward to the end of the month and the 4-day Stampex National Exhibition at the Business design Centre, London. Hopefully, I will be in the capital for all 4 days and hope to meet one or two others from SCF and elsewhere.

Any latecomers can contact member Stampstudy through the forum and he will have contact with me once I arrive in the UK.

The holiday, as my holidays usually are, was arranged with these events in mind, so one could say it really is a 'Philatelic Holiday' ! .
Of course, there will be much more besides, but all the while my thoughts will be with my 'little' girl far away............

Au revoir
