Happy Valentine's Day!

With its annual issues of stamps for St. Valentine's Day, Norway Post has helped to encourage a fine tradition: writing love letters.

Text messages and e-mails may be the modern form of communication, but people still write letters, particularly for St. Valentine's Day. There's nothing to beat a hand-written love letter which has been franked with a romantic stamp such as the one shown here released late last month by Norway.
