Pretty Picture Postcards

I get pretty picture postcards from faraway places, not many but over time they accumulate on walls, fridges and marking pages in books. Mostly from old girlfriends writing to prove they are still alive. "Amazing scenery, wonderful people, haven't had a decent cup of coffee since Montreal, watch out for the water in ice cubes. Wish you were here (Not!) all my love xxxx" Still on a dull grey morning, a message from Mexico, Italy, Vietnam or New Zealand is at least intriguing. Me, I never send postcards as I never go anywhere but I get pretty picture postcards from faraway long ago bitches every now and then.

Andrea, thanks for visiting and kind words. Always save the best for last :) Sigh, these days the postcards we get are from the kids on their travels.
