2 November 2026 - Christmas ‘Winter wildlife’ - 6 stamps and 1 miniature sheet containing all 6 stamps. Designed by Stephen Perera from illustrations by Terra Nord and lithographed by Cartor. Rating:- ***. The designs are rather twee, me thinks.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Guernsey Post -

20 November 2026 - PbilaTaipei World Stamp Championship Exhibition - 1 ‘Cinderella sheet’. This is the third in this series of products which have no postal validity but are usually sold, nevertheless, for £5. This particular item appears to have a value of NT$85 inscribed on it though I do not presently know the significance of that.
