I don't, but I would like to...
... have one cover or postcard with post mark from each post office from Faroe Islands.
They are not so many, but without you will not be possible.
I'm waiting your feedback... and of course I will support the cost deliveries or I'll send you back some nice cover with stamps from Portugal.

Please e-mail me for details...

Skrímsla - A Balada do Gigante / Skrímsla - The Giant Ballad

A palavra ‘skrímsla’ significa monstro em Faroês e é também o título de uma antiga balada.

Para salvar a sua vida, o gigante, tem que dar ao camponês tudo o que este lhe pedir e construir um castelo com uma fonte da juventude.
