I am behind posting to this blog, but the sad thing is that I don't have a lot of time for Postcrossing anymore. I don't have a convenient post office near my husband's house and that makes it difficult to buy stamps and mail my cards. Nevertheless, I am trying to send a few cards every month, so I hope things will improve soon!
Anyway, this card arrived in January and was very welcome. Alina sent this to me and wrote a great note on the back of the card, which I will share with you. The pancakes look yummy and it was just Shrove Tuesday this week, so hopefully, that makes it okay to post after the long delay!

Hello Helen!
My name is Alina, I am 20 years old. I live in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The postcard shows pancakes. In Russia there is a tradition to bake them on Maslenitsu (Shrove Tuesday) - a farewell to winter and spring meeting. The ancients considered them a symbol of the sun.
Hope you like it!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
