Welcome to my world, the world of postage stamps. This hobby is educational and also of great interest. I find it very relaxing and a great past time during our long winter months. 

My name is Emmanuel (Larry) Cesare, I was born at Gzira, Malta. I came to Canada at the age of 18, and I've been here ever since. On April 4th, 1964, I married my best friend, Margaret. We have three children, a son and two daughters. We also have six grandchildren.  Today we're both retired.

In 1989 I took my wife to Malta for our 25th. Wedding Anniversary. This was also my first visit since I left in 1956. My wife is Canadian, so this was a very special visit for her, as she met the rest of my family that are still living there.

Always Remember
Our Feathered Friends and other Wildlife
You'll be surprised how much wildlife there is in your yards for you to enjoy

Feeding Wildlife in the Winter months is a must.
IF YOU START - DON'T STOP
If you choose to begin feeding wildlife regularly, try to do it throughout the winter. They start to depend on you and may have trouble finding other sources of food later in the winter.
 
Mixed seeds and seeded suet is available at all major stores.

PETS

Princess II

My wife and I, had a line of pets, from show canaries and budgerigars to finches and exotic birds. We also had a couple of rabbits and some hamsters for the children. Next came fresh water fish to salt water fish.
I had dogs from the first year I set foot on this great land. Our last two dogs were Chichi and Cuddles, they were part of our lives. Let us say we grew old together. We made life very comfortable for them. Today they are both in heaven.
As you may observe from the photo above, we now have a new pet beagle we call Princess II.
