European geography is fascinating, the borders were continually changing. My grandparents had a post office in Scotland and once received a page of stamps with the queen's head on backwards! They would have been worth a lot of money, but they returned them to post office headquarters.

Interesting you wrote “European” not “Eastern Europe”! Here in Eastern Europe my local friends still believe they are “going to Europe” not “in Europe”.

Thanks for the geography lesson, and I can't wait to hear "the rest of the story" about your family's connection to Bessarabia, a place I never knew existed and now have found on a map and can't wait to visit!

It’s a bit difficult (but not impossible) for the Ukrainian part, but the rest in Romania and Moldova is open for business.
