Partner-who-loves-tea is back in
work (having also worked a couple of days last week!).
Son-who-watches-movies is recovering from an ill-times bout of flu.
And I am giving the kitchen a Spring clean. It may not be Spring
yet but the warm wet weather of December continues - much to the regret of
those in Cumbria who have been flooded out of their homes. The overflowing
rovers must abate soon surely.
The
Christmas decorations will come down shortly and in the meantime I have taken
down the cards so that P-w-l-t and I could discuss them over dinner last night.
Needless to say some of them had postboxes on them.
Not surprisingly these included ones to me from P-w-l-t and S-w-w-m
Irina in
Bulgaria sent this one.
This came
from Heleen in the Netherlands.
From
Anastasia in Belarus - a postcard from a Postcrossing friend.
And from
Monica in Sweden - a most delightful one.
My old
school-friend George and his wife Chris sent this one.
And from a former colleague, Marilyn.
There's no
postbox on this one but it is a delightful scene photographed by friend David
Truby and sent by him and his wife Pat. It is taken in the castle grounds
in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis which does not usually see much snow over the
winter.
Thanks to everyone who sent us cards - with or without postboxes!
What a nice idea, to look at all the cards and talk about them before they are put away! I shall do this on Wednesday, and will decide then which of the many beautiful cards to keep so that next Christmas season, they can be part of my decoration when I put them under the glass plate covering the desk in the Third Room.
ReplyDeleteThe rain has finally reached us here, too, after our November and December were way too dry.
Such a lovely selection! Aren't all bouts of illness ill-timed?
ReplyDeleteI no longer get sweet nostalgic cards, but the millennials want to send photos of family and throw away all the others. At least that is how most do it on this side of the pond.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen Christmas cards with printed greetings especially for husband or father before!
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen these postcards elsewhere... ;)
ReplyDeleteI love looking at the cards over and over. They're one of the very last parts of Christmas to be taken down or put away for the year. I too read and re-read every one. Happy New Year, dear friend. xoxox
