| 2022: Commonwealth Games (Illustrator - Charis Tsevis) |
Royal Mail has issued a number of colourful stamp sets in 1922 and because it is and has been a very full sporting calendar this year I choose these Commonwealth Games stamps for the Sunday Stamps theme. The full set can be seen here. I especially like the mountain biking stamp.

| 1975: Sailing (Design: Andrew Restall) |
Sailing is one of the optional sports of the Commonwealth Games but not chosen by landlocked Birmingham but there is always a sailing race going on somewhere in the world. Keeping ones feet firmly on dry land the football World Cup starts on the 20th November.

| 2014: Zlatan Ibrahimovic |
but Zlatan (one of the select group of super star footballers always referred to by just their first name) won't be at the World Cup because Sweden did not qualify. At 41, when most footballers have hung up their boots, it is a thing a wonder that he is still playing at a high level.
Sunday Stamps theme this week is - Bright Colours - brighten up the day at See It On A Postcard

I was thinking those Commonwealth Games stamps were like mosaics - then I read the link ;) They look very fresh and modern.
I will miss Sweden at World Cup... but we are going!! (as is Wales, two underdogs to cheer on.)
Great Stamps to share for today!!!

It seems sports is a great theme for colourful stamps. I like them all, but the sail is my favourite here.
