Is there somewhere I could see examples of these stamps please? A book or collectors' site? Or could you post some pictures on the thread please Mark V?
Your descriptions are excellent and whet the appetite but some pictures would be FANTASTIC |

Do your numbers refer to numbers of stamps or sheets Mark?
Have you got any leftover stampsheets of the Discworld version of the Rockall stamps? |

Thank you for your interest in the stamps. In answer to the questions above: The numbers refer to stamps, not sheets. No, sorry, I don't have any of the Discworld Rockall stamps. I'm afraid there isn't a place where the stamps are pictured, but I'll try to put some here.

Hmm, having now checked the FAQ on uploading pictures, I don't think I can put any on here. I'm not all that digitally deft!
However, you can see some of the stamps on ebay just now: search for Rockall, Kokoarrah, Copeman Empire, Rayba etc, and then click on "see seller's other items" for the others listed.

A picture would be nice Mark - from the description it sounds great.
The North Norfolk coast has really suffered during October. |

A picture may now be seen, at http://strangestamps.blogspot.co.uk/.
The stamp is, however, perforated (not shown).

The latest issue from Strange Stamps is a Bletting Medlars Etiquette:
Bletting Medlars. First issue, December 2013. 200 copies. Perforated (not shown in the picture). These etiquettes were designed to be affixed to boxes of medlar fruit from the tree in my garden, for posting to friends. The medlar is a fruit best eaten when in decay, when its tawny golden skin turns to a smoky purple: this is known as “bletting”. The taste has been described as “like leafmould and apple sauce” or more kindly like that of dates with a slight of undertow of Stilton. The wording of the etiquette – “With Care” – reflects similar labels used by the Royal Mail in the past for perishable and fragile goods, even eggs. Photograph: Mark Valentine (“A Frail of Bletting Medlars”). |
