Does anyone keep track of new UK stamps?

Yes, I have been. My main source is from a stamp dealer - Norvic Philatelics and there is an associated blog. They get information about stamps before they appear on the Royal Mail site, but sometimes, they can't show images until a certain date however, companies producing first day covers may be able to show them before that, such as Buckingham Covers. Next issues out: Hampton Court Palace, 31st July. Main stamps 3 x 1st, 3 x £1.55. There is also a miniature sheet with 2 x 1st and 2 x £1.45 stamps 250th anniversary of Captain Cook's Voyages, 16th August. Main stamps 2 x 2nd, 2 x 1st, 2 x £1.45. Miniature sheet 2 x 1st and 2 x £1.45 stamps.

Thanks Mia!
Miniature stamps?? What's that all about? Are they, or, can they be used on normal letters?

Miniature sheets are a sheet with a set of stamps, and you can only buy these as whole sheets (there seemed to have been an exception during the London Olympics with the gold medal stamps). You can use the stamps individually. Not all post offices will have the nice stamps - main post offices should have, and possibly other smaller post offices. Post offices within a convenience store are less likely to stock the special stamps, other than the Christmas issue.
