Yet another delightful epistle from overseas this morning. This card is from Norway and not only contains a tiny painted square by an ex-mariner but the stamps have flowering rosemary and chillis on them.
Do other countries actually have nicer stamps than ours or do they just seem exotic because they're foreign?
I would agree with you that other countries do seem to have far more interesting stamps than ours. The watercolour sketch is lovely - I wish more people still sent letters. I may be slightly old-fashioned but I do worry about the absence of snail mail from future archive collections - there's something so special about the personality that people imprint on their letters - in their handwriting, in drawings, and the stamps themselves.
