A postcard to a friend
It’s been a fair while since I sent a postcard to a friend. With all this technology, seems a distant memory when postcard sending was a regular holiday activity.
So I decided to meet myself halfway, and send some virtual postcards to a friend, any friend.
If you like to indulge in some nostalgic thinking. enjoy the beauty of Britain, and recognise some of the positive aspects of our society, I hope you will appreciate some of our musings on Britain, past and present. But if not, thanks for stopping by 
As a child I looked forward to receiving a postcard from distant lands – (well in most cases, probably only a stones throw) but I so hated it, when the postman got to read them before me! But writing them was equally as much fun. Struggling to think what to say, or never enough space to pass on how much fun you were having on your annual jaunt to the coast.
In many ways, I suppose Postcards were the original ‘texting’ or, if you include the fact they were visible to all in the Post Office, probably more like ‘Twittering’.
Just read this blog and thought it quite an apt coincidence. At work today, we received a postcard from a workmate who is visiting relatives in Australia. Can’t remember the last time I sent a postcard, mainly because they always seemed to be delivered to the recipient, after I had got home again!
Can anyone still remember getting “twinned” with pen-pals at school, and having to send them hand-written letters? I had two pen-pals, one in Germany, the other in Singapore. I used to love writing and can remember sending two or three letters, to every one I received back!
