Leap Year's Day
I like to post every piece of mail in the due day... But I cannot wait four years to show you the Leap Day postcards sent by Heleen (the Netherlands). With leaping frogs also on the back!
She sent two postcards, hoping that at least one would get a "29 February 2024" postmark. The post office made a great job here, and both of them are beautifully postmarked in the due day.
By the way, this girl is very fond of weird days...
