I had to look hard to find an Easter connection for this week's theme. I decided to stay in the UK with these stamps depicting cathedrals.
The other two in the set are:
 |
| Great Britain - Cathedrals |
These are four from a set of six issued on 28 May 1969 depicting British Architecture (Cathedrals).
They are (clockwise from top left):
- Durham Cathedral
- York Minster
- Canterbury Cathedral
- St Giles, Edinburgh
The other two in the set are:
- St Paul's Cathedral (9d)
- Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral (10d)
 |
| Great Britain - Daffodils |
These are from a set of Spring Wild Flowers issued on 21 March 1979. There is no sign of flowers on our daffodils today.
Why did I choose to show these and not the rest of the set? Well, the Norwegian word for daffodil is
påskelilje, or Easter Lily.
For more Easter connections then cross over to Sunday-Stamps-116.

I love the daffodil stamp. No daffs open in our garden yet either but can you blame them? Happy Easter.
We had snow this morning Bob. Happy Easter!
Nice choices for today. Our daffodils are nowhere near out either.
Yes I wish our daffodils were out like that, poor things got covered with snow.
I love daffodils! They cheer me up!
Anything to do with cathedrals gets my vote. Thanks for sharing these.
Thank you for the cathedrals. Our daffodils have buds but not near to opening.
Amazing, all our snow has just about gone and the daffodils are poking up their heads out of the soil by about 3 inches now.
JO ON FOOD, MY TRAVELS AND A SCENT OF CHOCOLATE
The cathedrals are from a set I do remember, for a change. Of course, I wish they had included Winchester but I suppose it's time I transferred my allegiance to Canterbury.
