Cats #201
A beautiful black cat card from @BriJN with a lovely black cat sticker too. Thank you so much Bri! Funnily enough, I sent this card on Postcrossing recently - what a coincidence!
Surprise #200
I received three beautiful Alexia Claire cards from this group from @ZoeJN@MoominMog and @EmmaG. Whales & Wildflowers of Britain and a Cete of Badgers make wonderful additions to my collection and look brilliant displayed next to each other All are beautifully decorated too. Thank you all, so much!
@tesc sent me a gorgeous National Trust map of Cornwall. Despite living in Devon for three years, there’s so much more of Cornwall I’m yet to explore. Thank you for the lovely card.
@CEBooth thank you for the Earth from Apollo 4 card. I also love space, its fascinating! I hadn’t noticed it was upside down until you said
Bodmin and Wenford railway postcard of a non-mainstream industrial locomotive from @MoominMog
I have actually been to this railway - makes a change from the usual, where people say “I assume you’ve been here loads of times” and I have to awkwardly admit I’ve never heard of it
I have also heard of the Windermere branch but not travelled on it . . . yet!
This amazing US president puzzle card from @ZoeJN - it’s at the right level for me as despite my encyclopaedic knowledge of US presidents (I blame Sporcle) it took me a while to get them and I’m still working on #3! Also fun to hear about your Indian train journey, ice cream is great and it’s even better if it’s on a train!
My Group #195 Food, Drink & Recipes postcards have been written and will be heading to their recipients from a local postbox with a late collection later this afternoon.
Meanwhile, I’ve received my first Group #195 Food, Drink & Recipes postcard: many thanks to @mwntimperial for your smoking doughnut postcard! I’m not sure that I’ll be enjoying an ice cream today, as there has just been a light shower of rain where I am. Maybe tomorrow?!
My cards for 195 are posted and I also received my first card for this group from @mwntimperial. Beautiful colourful macarons! Happy postcrossing birthday for yesterday Mine, for 3 years, was last week. It seems June is a popular month to join.
Thank you @chrisbonham11 for the many beets for #195 - Food, etc. Who knew there were so many varieties? I also like beetroot and I do like a beetroot brownie! I’ll have to try the salad you mention. Great stamp connection with the Land Army photo, too! Thank you!
Thank you @ZoeJN for the wonderful card bought in Galway for my rabbit collection I love the Queen Elizabeth ii stamp, cute washi & the brilliant bunny stickers you chose for me
The unpredictable weather is making our garden grow like crazy, but it’s nice to sit out on sunny mornings watching the bunnies living their best bouncy lives! I hope your garden is coming on nicely too x
Thank you @mwntimperial Elisabeth for the FAB (see what I did there?) Seafront Ice Cream Parlour card & perfectly matching ice lolly & ice cream stickers! Great Royal stamps too, thank you.
Oooh, it’s hard to choose a favourite but as a child I liked Raspberry Ripple or Mr Whippy with strawberry sauce & sprinkles, now it’s probably Ben & Jerry Strawberry Cheesecake!
and thank you to @chrisbonham11 for the Casa Pepe book of Spanish Cooking card, I feel hungry just thinking about it! Pleased to hear you had such a lovely time eating in Marbella!
My postie brought this gorgeous thing this morning from Mark @Maddymail for BIRR 200 (Surprise). It is a golden chariot from the Oxus Treasure, Tajikistan, in the British Museum. Thank you, Mark!
This Commemorative meet up card, designed by @JennyAssis for King Charles & Queen Camilla’s Coronation (with a fab Charles & Camilla stamp!) has arrived today from @Maddymail for Group #200 Surprise
Thank you Mark, I hope you all had a fantastic time, I’m off to check the meet up thread to see if there’s any photos! x
EDIT: Great photos, looks like you all had a great time, love the tshirt Mark! x
Thank you so much to @geo_ for the absolutely lovely handwritten recipe postcard. Your handwriting is beautiful! Even the envelope was a work of art. I was so pleased to come home to this. We are very behind with baking and so I really need to give this a go! Thank you, Georgia!
For group 195 I received a lovely Botanicum/Kew card from @chrisbonham11 showing Durian. I’ve never tried it myself but it sounds interesting! P. S. I love the BB8 star wars stamp! Thank you Chris!
