Back On Line

Hello Friends:

Back on line... A lot of things appeared these last 15 days and I will post them next week.  A quick resume:

- Image update of Germany 

- A preview of SPM 2018 stamp programme with images, bring us a new issue and the image update of Ile Aux Marine with a special appearence of Point Aux Canons
  


- New issue from Manx

- An IMPRESSIVE new stamp coming from French Polynesia. The same designer of the New Caledonia´s 2015 Amédée stamp repeats the fantastic work with this stamp about the Anniversary of Pointe Venus. 


- New issue from Tadjikistan




So, let me coordinate my head with my time zone and I will start to post the news.  We keep in touch.
