London 2010...a time to live long in my memory. One of the most wonderful sites was opening the tube of the Press sheet of the show Miniature sheet with the new £1 value. The sheet consisted of 10 tete-beche pairs of sheets in two 'panes'. It was only the second time the British Post Office had issued a tete-beche item, the other being a 1955 3d Wilding definitive. [although other definitives from the same series are said to exist]. The sheet has everything apart from the Miniature sheets. Colour bars, Colour shade grading, Marginal inscriptions, positional bars both horizontal and vertical, sheet number.......... I cut one of these up and was quite happy with the result. One has sat in my bedroom cupboard, unopened for a long time. It just brings back too many wonderful memories..........     Londonbus1......memories are made of this !  |

.........and while the talk of London 2020 has begun, it just brought back those memories, again, of the 'greatest time of my life'.....philatelically speaking of course ! If 'London 2020' is only half as exciting then it will have been memorable. 9 years ago I went on an unplanned mission, to collect everything and anything with the event logo or full title ! It was a mission impossible but I had such fun trying. Two albums on the shelf above my desk were the result of my search. Stamps, covers, folders, tickets, price lists, programmes, leaflets, advertisements.....even Cinderellas !! I wanted them all. I wonder if I will have the energy for such a search in 2020 ? Time will tell.           |
