As I am on holiday in the USA this is what I prepared in advance for this week's theme.
I may have trouble taking part for the next three weeks - it depends what I can find in my daughter's albums.
I will however check in as you should at Sunday-stamps-136.

If you look closely you will see the posthorn signal used by many countries on their stamps so it seems appropriate to include a video.
