If you look at the topic, Philosophy of Philatelics on this blog, you will see that Rob has a hobby involving stamps and postal history. During the Winter months, he likes to spend a little time on this hobby and will sometimes share some of his research with you here. Enjoy it for what it is worth - or ignore it if it isn't your cup of tea. In the end, it's all part of trying to balance my life and stay positive and interested in things around me.
