For our second trade I experienced a first: being sent a few stamps from my own country. I have since received a few from someone else - I forget who from. In the stamps above there are some from Ireland that feature birds which remind me in stye of the NZ bird stamps of several years back. I wonder, which country was first?

Everything under the sun
I'm up to the number 31 with my exchanges, but that lags the 49 or so emails I've exchanged with Kalkie, a 12-year old from Ireland. We talk about sports, travel, getting into the newspaper, family etc. Sometimes we even talk about stamps!
