Two very welcome cards from @jobloggs today!

Firstly, for #190 - Food & Recipes this recipe for Bara Brith. I do like it and I used to especially enjoy it with a bit of Welsh cheese and an apple. I have been saying for ages that I need to make a vegan version as it’s so easy to do - I think I’ll make that a project for this next week. As always, lovely stamps, too including a very nice William Caxton, as well as some on-theme stickers. Diolch iawn!

And, for Group #192 - Unwanted cards a card that I definitely want, the tomb of Katharine of Aragon in Peterborough Cathedral, a place I haven’t yet visited, although I’ve been to nearby Alwalton. Fabulous stamps, too! The Christmas angel is gorgeous and the bluebells so appropriate for this time of year. I had a lovely walk in a wood full of them this morning!

Thank you, Rhiannon!

Group #196 Two Unritten Postcards in an Envelope :postcard: :envelope_with_arrow:

Two envelopes of postcards for this group were waiting for me when I arrived home from work today:

  • Thank you @hcross2015 for your S.S. Titanic and Buses at Piccadilly Circus postcards! The former is apt after the recent passing of Bernard Hill, who played Captain Smith in the 1997 film.

  • Thank you @Potatosium for your spotted eagle ray and wave postcards! The Easter Meet-up postcard with your message on the back is a lovely bonus.

Two cards today :smiling_face:

Thank you @EmmaEirene for this wonderful die card for Group 197 - Surprise. I think this is the first card I’ve received with dice on it :slight_smile: I’ve actually banned myself from buying dice for a little while, but I broke this last month when I couldn’t help but buy a miniature version of a set I already own :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Thank you @tesc for the Warhammer card for Group 192 - :wastebasket:. My brother used to be into Warhammer when he was younger. I can appreciate it from an art / model paintknftpointtof view, but never really understood the point of the battles :sweat_smile:
Your hubby is providing a vital service :saluting_face: there has to be one house who knows which bins go out each week so others can follow suit, otherwise it’s chaos!

I love the Jane Eyre stamp, too!

Great news about Ipswich! I hope they have a fantastic next season.

And thank you, @EmmaEirene for this vibrant picture of one of Emma’s favourite coastal dishes for Group 190 - gorgeous colours. There is really nothing like eating a meal by the sea. Sardines are one of my Dad’s favourites, too. Wonderful stamps as always.

Thanks to everyone in group #196. These are some wonderful cards.



Particularly loving the potassium card!! I’ve not seen one of those before that’s great. The Joshua Tree national park postcard might have to stay in my collection.

Loving the bookshops! This looks like such a nice set. I’m going to have a look at how it was curated.

Not seen many orange cards that aren’t from the Pantone sets!

Also where did you get those envelopes from? I feel like I look high and low for pretty envelopes but can only find the air mail ones.

You’re welcome!

I got a pack of brightly coloured envelopes from a high street branch of WHSmiths.
