Global Travel 2024 US

 After flying from London to NYC, I visited NY General post office at Sunday, the machine is good I got some postage labels and two ATM (one is not valid postage, another one I put on letter posting home).

Global Travel 2024

 This Feb. I traveled to UK, then US for customers visiting. Taking a little bit time to fulfill my hobby.

Stayed one hour at London Bridge, so visited one post office near around after lunch. It is just the one I bought ATM last summer. Only some ATM I got for posting letters, so only left 3 above.

The blue HM Queen issue on 2017, black issued on 2020 and 2019. I did not try another two machines, don't know the what the motif is.

Actually I visited another post office around The Regent's Park, but all the ATM machine are closed, the clerk don't want to turn on it. 

Travel in UK

 This is my first overseas travel since Covid-19, we have very pleased experience in UK. Of source got some ATM there in different machines.

My friend post this letter from Macau to UK, when I got it in UK, I put ATM on it sending to Beijing. The normal Macau stamp is not valid postage, seems like postman forgot to chop 'invalid' stamping.

I got this letter at Swindon, posting at Oxford.

Same process to make this letter, sending from Macau to UK, re-posting from UK to Beijing. The normal Macau stamp is invalid postage, so we can see there is blue cancellation. 

The machine cancellation on UK ATM notes 'British Heart Foundation', it is charity org., have many charity stores cross over the country, but its price is a little bit expensive than 'Cancer Research'. The 2 pig ATM were not bought at UK, I brought them from home. 

I posted this letter at Thirsk, a small town on north of York city.

The Flag ATM is from my album I bought many years ago, the two HM Queen ATM from local machine I visited.

The Poppy ATM is available in London when I stay there in July 2023. 

Also I posted letters from China to UK, unfortunately lost 2.

This letter receiving address is Birmingham, the 2 ATMs I got in London, one is Robin, another is Throne. 

This letter sending to Edinburgh, but I still not got it till I check  out. So the front desk people return it to sender when they got the mails. 

Because it is postage due in Macau, so the sender have to pay when the letter returned to sender. The blue squre stamping is showing the fees, including postage due $1, handling fee $6.5
