Poland - Food

February 26, 2018

This cool card came to me from Poland and was sent by Joanna.  She sent a some information about her city too, which was interesting for me as I didn't know anything about it.

She wrote,
"Witoj Helen
Greetings from Poland.
If you go to Torun you can eat traditional Polish gingerbread. It has been produced since the Middle Ages. The medieval part of Tokun was designated a UNESCO and it is a city of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus.

Thank you for your card Joanna.  Cards with cups of tea or coffee on them make me feel like I'm sitting down with the sender for a cuppa of something nice!

Movie Card - Netherlands

February 17, 2018

This brilliant movie card came to me from Rob in the Netherlands.  He wrote a fun and thoughtful note on the back too, so of course, I love it!

He wrote,
"Hello Helen,
I think that the lost and unregistered cards will show up at the place and time where they're needed most maybe even if they end up with people who aren't the intended receiver.  Who knows? I think mysteries like this make the world more beautiful.

I love windsurfing. A summer day, a big lake, good wind and that there's just me, my surfboard, the sun, the water and the wind around.

Best wishes,
Rob"

I love his idea that the missing postcards end up with people who need them.  What a lovely thought.

I have actually seen the film pictured on the front of this card.  It was directed by Alan Rickman, he also appears in it too.  It wasn't my favourite film of his, but it does have a few nice scenes and there are some lovely scenes with Alan Rickman and Kate Winslet too.
