Hello again - it's been more than a week since my last blog so I'm sure it's time for a new one. This one will be a short one - just three cards. My cards this time are from France and two from Greece.
Let's start with the card from France. It's a look at the interior of Paupers' Hall of the Hotel Dieu De Beaune. The Hotel Dieu Museum is a former charitable almshouse , founded in 1443 as a hospital for the poor. It is also famous for its 60 hectares wine estate and auctions.
Dominique used a couple of quite old stamps on this card. The stamp on the left showing the Gallic Cock was issued in 1944. The larger stamp , on the right, was issued in 1965. It shows the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut, Ronchamp.
My next card arrived from Greece. It's the latest addition to my Airlines / Aircraft Collection. On this card we see aircraft SX-DVQ , an Airbus A320 of Aegean Airlines. It's pictured in Dusseldorf in 2019. Delivered to Aegean in 2008 , it was repainted in the Star Alliance livery in 2010. Aegean operates a fleet of 52 aircraft, all Airbus, with 26 more on order.
Jean Pierre used two stamps from 2018 on this card. On the left, 1 of 5 in a Presidential Guard set. On the right , 1 of 2 celebrating International Women's Day.
Here's the last card for today and it's also from Greece. Although it doesn't say so anywhere on the card, I believe it shows a scene from the opening ceremonies of the 2004 Summer Olympics, inside the Olympic Stadium.
Jean Pierre used a 2019 stamp on this one. It is 1 of 5 in an Old Greek Literature set.
Well that's all for this time, a little shorter that my usual. Thanks for the cards go out to Dominique and Jean Pierre. Take care.
