Montserrat

There are a number of places known as Montserrat (Serrated Mountain). Some years ago we took the train up to the Monastery of that name in Spain.  We climbed a number of the rounded rock spires there.  I was doing a few "maps on stamps" today and came across the other Montserrat of volcanic fame in the Caribbean. These islands are on my list for a visit. There is a game of spot the difference you can play in the two stamps below, I almost missed it and it is not the fact that one has selvage and the other doesn't. There is a difference in the design.


Those monks
