Two old stamps to start this week, one from when I was a young boy.

The 9th World Scout Jamboree, known as the Jubilee Jamboree, was held in Sutton Park in Sutton Coldfield in August 1957 and commemorated with three stamps. This is one of them.

By 1962 Jetliners had become a more common sight as shown by this one flying over the Capitol.

| USA - 5 December 1962 |
We already have a poinsettia plant ready to be part of our Christmas decorations this year - I suppose that this would also be appropriate for next weeks secular theme.

The 1962 stamp is one of my favourites from the USA.
I need to get some poinsettia plants too! :)
I have always loved that Scotland has a unicorn as its national animal!
With stamp prices going up in the new year the 5s stamp made we wonder what size of parcel it would send in 1939. I always love seeing the poinsettias at christmas.
great stamps!
