Eventually,

I decided to make a start,

on taking my stamp collection out of storage and rehousing them, boring I know but I enjoy collecting stamps, I had over the past few days been buying stock sheets to put them in,

and folders for the stock sheets,

so out of their plain envelops,

and on to stock sheets, as you can see I started with the 1935 issue of the celebration of King George Silver Jubilee,

although the main theme was a printing of similar stamps, some countries like in this case Canada produce other stamps as well as the 'normal' ones, other countries took their normal stamps and then over printed them, like the Cook Island stamps,

or in this case the normal Silver Jubilee stamp and then over printed them, like the ones above, Tangier and one other, Morocco Agencies,

as in many sets there is occasionally one stamp that stands out because of its rarity, the 4 blue ones above,

in this case it is the Egyptian British Forces 1935 SGA10 Mint Silver Jubilee 1p ultramarine, occasionally also stamps of lower value can increase in their worth,

if you can be fortunate enough to collect a page of them as their were first offered for sale, like the one above, also from the British Army 1935 Jubilee set,

I next made a start on the 1937 Coronation set, it was so nice to see them all again, by now I was getting brain fade, trying to alphabetically remember this list of stamps that make up the collection,

and a short video of the family in filling the foundations, just before 01.30 AM Diana called, the night bus was late, so off to Bromley to pick her up, arriving home it was time for a coffee and a chat, then just before 03.00AM we were off to bed.
