Summer on stamps



I tend to think of the seaside and summer going hand in hand though I have to say that actually living by the seaside is starting to put a dent in that association. This summer has been less than spectacular.

The top set of stamp cards showing "Seaside Architecture" dates from 2014. It included the bandstand stamp that was Royal Mail's Europa offering for the theme of traditional music. It also included Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

Blackpool Tower, part of the Pleasure Beach, was featured in 2011 in the A to Z of Britain series.

This is a post for Sunday Stamps, hosted by Violet Sky at "See it on a Postcard!"

  3. I would never have thought that Seaside Architecture would have made for a good stamp set, yet Royal Mail managed to choose interesting and quite dramatic images for this set - really quite an achievement.

  4. These are really nice stamps. My 2 favourite is the first one on the upper left and the last one on the lower right

  5. I liked this set and wish I'd bought more of them to send. Southwold is one of my favourite places in England.

  7. This is a lovely set. I've not spent much time at the seaside as my family don't live particularly close to it.

  8. Lovely seaside pictures. I am happy to be home and near my beautiful Pacific though, in India, I could see the Arabian Sea from my window.

Welcome to my postcard collection! I love hearing what you think of the cards - but spam WILL be deleted.
