Mono Monday EXOTIC MM217

I imagine one of my first exposures to anything exotic as a child would've been through stamp collecting. The exotic names of far away countries and beautiful stamps to put in my album. These are from the Republic of Somalia, which according to my stamp album tells me was a former British colony, but which I now know is a country sadly devastated by war.

I've added a colour extra so you can see how vibrant and exotic the stamps are and also one of the small amount of snow we woke up this morning. Of course it's melted now even though it's still snowing/sleeting on off.
