Hi ! Here is the recent cover received by me from Latvia, sent by my friend EN Limanski of Riga . It’s a beautiful cover with my favorite theme . The cover was issued on 9 April 2010 featuring this year's EUROPA theme.The cover is just wonderful, giving me nostalgia of my school days. Now the Internet reading has taken the place of Books. But reading books has its own pleasure. Books are the best friends….Thanks Limanski for this nice cover. I am very pleased to have this in my collection. In Club news read about a new Blog by renowned philatelist and expert on Flag theme, Mr Sekhar Chakrabarty of Kolkata. This is all for Today…Till Next Post …Have a Nice Time !
Thanks to EN Limanski, Riga – Latvia
