DANMARK - 1984

One out of two stamps issued in 1984. On an ugly card :) Found by Andy from UK.

In 1984 (35 countries ; 67 stamps) the CEPT was 25 years old (1959-1984). To celebrate this event it has been decided to use a common design again as it was the case before 1974. The common design was a bridge designed by the French engraver Jacky Larrivière.

CZECH REPUBLIC
issue date: 9th of may 2007
11 Kc - multi-color - used

This year the worldwide scouting movement celebrates the 100th anniversary of its foundation. The Association of Public European Postal Operators, PostEurop, declared scouting as the common theme of the 2007 EUROPA issue.
This worldwide education movement was founded in 1907 by the Englishman, Sir Robert Baden-Powell. In the background printing of his book Scouting for Boys he wrote that scouting is education of a good citizen by way of forest wisdom. Scouting met with a tremendous enthusiasm not only in boys but also in girls, and spread rapidly throughout the world. The first Czech scout boy club was set up in 1911 by Professor A. B. Svojsík. The first girl club of the Czech scout movement Junák was set up in 1915 by PhDr. A. Berkovcová. The golden age of the scout movement came after the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic. It enjoyed a great respect and became a school for numerous personalities, such as J. Wolker, A. Rašín, the academic professor J. Charvát, etc. In 1948 the scouting movement was by force integrated into the Czech Youth Association and after two years liquidated. The Czech scouting movement preserved numerous traditional elements, such as the way of camping, a close relationship to the wildlife, romance, serving the neighbours, traditional uniforms. A completely original element, typical for the Czech scouts, is the tent with a wooden substructure invented at a camp led by J. Pulkrábek in 1913. from post.cz

IRELAND - europa cept 2010

In October there was a meeting in Ireland / Dublin from the postcrossing Users. pHabietto (Fabio) from Italy was thinking to the little girl in Switzerland and sent me a wonderful card with both issued stamps from this year! Yeah! Thank you!

The right one:
Illustrated by PJ Lynch this stamp is based on Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift. Originally published in 1726, Gulliver’s Travels tells the narrative of Lemuel Gulliver, a surgeon, who takes to the sea and journeys into several remote nations of the World, the adventures are told by Gulliver after his return home. The book is divided into four parts, each about a different place. Gulliver tells of things being disproportionately small in some lands and oversized in other lands.

The left one: This stamp also illustrated by PJ Lynch is based on The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde which was first published in 1888. This book tells the tale of a golden statue of a prince, who befriends a migrating swallow. The prince is saddened by the poverty and pain his citizens experience daily. He enlists the help of the swallow and together they bring happiness to others, in life, as well as in death.

NETHERLANDS - cept 1959

Its time to scan and publish my entire Europa CEPT / POSTEUROP collection! I have a lot of used stamps from the first years. Try to publish all the stamps i have...

SWITZERLAND - cept 1959

It is the Year of Birth from my father. 1959. The Swiss Issue date was on the 22nd June. The Date of Birth from my father is the 19th of June.

He collected Stamps since he was a young boy - mainly Austrian Stamps cause my former family is from Klagenfurt, located in the south part - nearby the Slovenian boarder.  Nowadays he's just buying the First Day issues. Blocks of 4, with the First Day cancellations on it.

Well back to my Europa Collection which was founded by him ;)

The FDC wasn't posted which is a blame - i know they don't have the same value (for me, personally). But i have at least one - that counts, or?
