British Isles Tags - Thank You Thread

They ring a bell but I don’t think I did. After Malory towers and St Clares I’m sad to say I moved on to Sweet Valley High for a while lol.

Believe me there are some days I wish I could!! I’m still searching for the BI round robin cards I received in February and March. I know they’re in the front room somewhere but it seems so is half of the junk in the whole house. If it’s not tied down it eventually ends up in there.

Thanks @JoF for the great Banksy postcard from the BI Word Chain Tag, fab stamp too! It just occurred to me it might not be the ideal subject matter to give to my husband for his birthday :joy::joy::joy: but I’m sure he’ll love it! x

I’ve received two cards today the first is from the British Isles word chain tag (York) and was sent to me from @JoF Jo, thank you.


The second card was from the British Isles I-Spy Tag (Postbox) and was sent to me from another postbox lover, @MartynHst43277 Martyn another card that is now in my collection.

Many thanks to you both.

Thank you to @JoF for this delicious card for I-Spy something sweet and for the beautiful stamp and decorations, too. Paperchase disappeared just before I got into Postcrossing; so many missed opportunities!

And thank you @jobloggs for the adorable fox cubs and matching stickers for I-Spy British wildlife. We have some very cute foxes in the garden at the moment. I hope you had a wonderful time at the meetup today! I’m so sorry to have had to miss it

So on Saturday I only got two postcards, the first from @jobloggs whom I thanked earlier on the thread and the second was from @tesc !
I may have only had 2 postcards but the quality of them both certainly made my day, I went to lands end last year ! I love the mouse hole cat postcards thanks so much so thoughtful! @tesc

Thank you so much @MartynHst43277 for this leopard card by Eric Carle. I do love his illustrations, they are so vibrant and silly!
I have never really watched Eurovision, but I can appreciate some of the costumes, and the inevitable memes which pop up afterwards :joy:

(Sorry for the delay in reporting. This card did arrive on Thursday, but I’ve had family visiting and it’s been very busy!)

Thank you @mwntimperial for this amazing card from Pollocks Toy Museum. My husband especially loved this card, he was a huge Sooty fan when he was a kid and still has his old puppets!

Thanks @iliketrains for this lovely blue sky over Philadelphia for the I Spy tag, somewhere I’d like to visit, although from your description, perhaps you didn’t think there was much to do there! But you can never have too many postcards! :wink:

Thank you so much @Yorkshire_Lad for this great picture of Walmgate Bar, York for the I-Spy Tag (something historic). It’s funny to see something so old surrounded by street furniture and road markings!
