This will probably be the last in this series for 2019.
I would like to once again thank everyone who took the time and trouble to post the cards to me, and to let you know that this series was incredibly popular. The posts have been some of the most-read during that past year.
Scottish writer and blogger Mary was kind enough to send me two views of her holiday destination, Gomera.
(She has a new book out, here’s a link)
Eddy Winko (made up name) is British blogger who lives in Poland.
He included a postcard in a box of soaps I ordered from his wife.
(Gosia makes wonderful soaps! Here’s a link to those)

Looking forward to lots more cards in 2020!
What a success that the postcards proved to be! I am sorry not to have been a part of it-next time! It was a great idea and we all enjoyed it. best wishes always-Michele

Mine might come in Jan. I have some problems like high fees and the post office is very far from my house. It’s like 2.4 km away

My nearest Post Office is over three miles away, and I have to drive there if the weather is bad. It’s a pain. Don’t worry too much about sending a card, dear Suzan. 🙂
