Off the fence ... :-( Our Robin is replying to your Robin Ed ... :-D

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

What does Brexit mean?
It is a word that has become used as a shorthand way of saying the UK leaving the EU - merging the words Britain and exit to get Brexit, in a same way as a possible Greek exit from the euro was dubbed Grexit in the past.
Why is Britain leaving the European Union?
A referendum - a vote in which everyone (or nearly everyone) of voting age can take part - was held on Thursday 23 June 2016, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. Leave won by 52% to 48%. The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting.
Chasing the sun, the mighty Celine, dubbed the Brexit Buster, will be circumventing any possible delays caused by unfolding developments in the UK, sailing directly between Dublin & our EU friends in Belgium.

A small contribution to a great nation's dilemma - and the solution seems to be as easy as the Referendum was in 2016! With some sharp editing in Fujifilm's raw converter (Japanese) and in Luminar (American); also shot using - you would not believe it - a Chinese lens! 7Artisans manual lens at approximately F 5.6. Yes, I am already going "global"!
Sitting here in the US, I'm in no position to comment on whether Brexit was a smart move or not such a smart move, though I do know you folks have raised hell with my retirement accounts. Be that as it may, I'm sure our stock market will eventually settle down, and hopefully, it'll all work out, not only for the UK, but for all of Europe and, of course, us. The 4th of July is approaching, which is our day of celebration for breaking free from Great Britain, and that worked out pretty well, so maybe GB's break from the rest of Europe will work out well, too.
Noch 5 Tage bis zum Brexit.
Die Insellage von Großbrittanien läßt sich nicht verschieben. Das Vereinigte Königreich gehört zu Europa mit oder ohne der Europäischen Union. Der Ausstieg von UK aus der Union wird Großbrittanien und die Union von Europa über Jahrzehnte schwächen. In New York wartet Trump mit einem Freihandelsvertrag für Großbrittanien und wird das UK stärker an sich binden als die Europäische Union es tat.
5 more days until Brexit.
The island situation of Great Britain can not be postponed. The United Kingdom belongs to Europe with or without the European Union. The UK's withdrawal from the Union will weaken Britain and the Union of Europe for decades. In New York, Trump is waiting with a free trade agreement for the United Kingdom and will bind the UK more strongly than the European Union did.
The Candidate

‘I campaigned for nothing,
I worked hard for this,
I tried to get to you,
You treat me like this.
It's just second nature,
It's what we've been shown,
We're living by your rules,
That's all that we know.’
Harold Wilson is famous for having said ‘a week is a long time in politics’ and I think that’s proved to be true many times over for the U.K. since the summer of 2016, and it’s not all over yet!
Wilson presided over the 1974 re-negotiation of the U.K.’s membership of the ‘Common Market’. He kept his cards close to his chest and it was just three months before the 10th June 1975 referendum that he declared in favour of staying in. It has been said of Wilson that he epitomised the quip ‘If you can’t ride two horses at the same time, you shouldn’t be in the circus!’
It was Wilson who deployed British troops to Northern Ireland in August 1969, in an effort to restore peace there. While out of office Wilson had formulated a plan that was designed to pave the way for the unification of Ireland, a plan that was never taken forward.
In January 1970 the Conservative shadow cabinet met a Selsdon Park, a hotel in Croydon, to formulate their plans for office. This led to Wilson saying:
‘Selsdon man is designing a system of society for the ruthless and the pushing, the uncaring. His message to the rest is you’re out on your own’
I think choose what political views we hold, it’s pretty striking how the themes of today have their underpinnings back in the 1970s. I wonder what Harold Wilson and the other politicians of the time would make of the current goings on?

Trying to practice mail art in post-Brexit Britain is becoming harder, and harder. It seems that postmen, and postwomen, who are still familiar with Monty Python are no longer around. Because I reused my Council Tax envelope, which was asking to confirm in case I just moved to this address, the postal security team has decided to not deliver it to Japan especially that some French text peered through the envelope's polythene window.
In late August 55 BC, Julius Caesar is thought to have landed on this open beach at Walmer on the Kent coast in the southeast of England. Located roughly 45 kilometers from the French coast this is geographically as close to the European mainland as Britain gets. A concrete memorial plaque nearby commemorates Europe’s initial foray into Britain. This strange-looking configuration of beach huts, within sight of the French coast, may perhaps provide a convenient portal through which the small-minded, blue passport-loving Britons can facilitate their exit from Europe back to the past.
