Advancing warning for arachnaphobes - they're coming!

As collectors and other readers may know, the next stamp issue from Royal Mail features a selection of what Wikipedia describes as

... air-breathing arthropods that have eight limbs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all orders of organisms.

In short, spiders.

So if you have an aversion to these creatures, I suggest you avoid the blog for the next couple of weeks because although this next post has been scheduled for publication on 12 September, we will be away from the office until 1 October - so there will be nothing to push it down the page.

The next scheduled blog post after that will be for the Music Giants X (The Who) issue on 3 October, although I shall try to squeeze in a post on September postmarks if anybody sends anything interesting for publication.
