PC#038 #039 #040 #041 A nice story



Today I got some nice cards and 2 Japanese stamps MS, which really made my day because they are not only so awesome but also about my friend, a sister.

She had left to Japan and lived there for working for 3 years and before her return to Vietnam last year, she had bought 2 nice MS and some UNESCO cards for my collection as a small gift.
But unfortunately the day she came back was the day I left Vietnam for another country for one year so I could not get them in hand at that time.
And today, the first time I met her after more than 4 years, is in her mariage. As every one know, brides are always busy in day of wedding and they will not waste time for something not relating to their important day. However, my friend, she saw me and she came back home imimmediately, returned with an envelope containing all items inside. Well, that fact really surprised me. It made my day.
Thank you so much my sister and wish you a great beginning in couple life, Ha Ta.

Cover#037 UK, World War I



Another one in my mail box today is this cover from UK. 2 stamps from a set of 6 about the centanery of World War I.
The first one shows a verse from the poem nammed " For the Fallen" which has seven stanzas and written by Laurence Binyon. The poem honoured the World War I British war dead of that time, and in particular the British Expeditionary Force, which by then already had high casualty rates on the developing Western Front. The poem was published when the Battle of the Marne was foremost in people's minds.
The "Ode of Remembrance" is an ode taken from Laurence Binyon's poem, "For the Fallen". It is regularly recited at memorial services held on days commemorating World War I, such as ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day, and Remembrance Sunday

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;

They sleep beyond England's foam


The seconed stamps shows Papaver Rhoeas, the symbol of WWI and one of my favorite flowers.


Thank you so much Cardamone!
