All of us used ‘stamp on a stamp’ stamps for the cover. I used three Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee stamps, cancelled on 25 April 2012 at Fenelon Falls in Ontario. Then photo313 affixed six stamps that commemorate Bangkok 1993 World Philatelic Exhibition, cancelled on 15 May 2012 (or the Buddha Year 2555) at Chulalongkorn. Finally anglez affixed two stamps that feauture King George V, cancelled on 21 May 2012 at Mount Pleasant.</p> <p>Thank you very much photo313 and anglez, and thank you canbcpost for arranging the round robin!</p> <div class="post-meta"> Posted in <a href="https://lovelymaryam.wordpress.com/category/travelling-cover/" rel="category tag">* Travelling Cover *</a>, <a href="https://lovelymaryam.wordpress.com/category/canada/" rel="category tag">Canada</a>, <a href="https://lovelymaryam.wordpress.com/category/united-kingdom/england/" rel="category tag">England</a>, <a href="https://lovelymaryam.wordpress.com/category/canada/ontario/" rel="category tag">Ontario</a>, <a href="https://lovelymaryam.wordpress.com/category/thailand/" rel="category tag">Thailand</a>, <a href="https://lovelymaryam.wordpress.com/category/united-kingdom/" rel="category tag">United Kingdom</a> | <a href="https://lovelymaryam.wordpress.com/2012/06/06/304-travelling-envelope-canada-thailand-uk/#respond" class="meta-comment-link" >Leave a comment</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="post-1979" class="post-wrapper last post-1979 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-england category-united-kingdom"> <div class="post-date-wrapper"> <div class="post-date"> <a href="https://lovelymaryam.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/289-postcard-from-oxford-united-kingdom/" title="Permalink to #289 Postcard from Oxford, United Kingdom" rel="bookmark"> <span>01</span> Jun 2012 </a> </div> </div> <div class="entry-wrapper"> <div class="entry"> <div class="entry-inner"> <h2 class="post-title"> <a href="https://lovelymaryam.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/289-postcard-from-oxford-united-kingdom/" rel="bookmark">#289 Postcard from Oxford, United Kingdom</a> </h2> <p>During my trip to London and Paris with my family three weeks ago, we visited Oxford for two nights.

The message in the front of the card actually applies to me since we did not plan for the trip. We only purchased the flight tickets the day before the departure, and I had to make hotel bookings each night. It was really hard to find good hotels with cheap price since we had to do everything at the eleventh hour, and it is summer and London is preparing to host the Olympics.
