My father started collecting postcards as a way to continue his nomadic life at least in spirit. I'm continuing and adding to the collection, and posting at least one, chosen at random, each day.

- PFF: Friendship on Nov 20, 2009 in France PFF
I am late posting today, but for once I noticed that Marie's theme is Friendship, and I am able to tie in this card which has the words "Mes Amitiés d'Ambérieu", my friendly greetings from Ambérieu. I've made many very good friends through M...
- Painting al fresco on Nov 20, 2009 in miscellaneous
An rather amusing card this one, sent to me from Cedar Rapids, Iowa on 10 July 2004, though I don't think it's intended to be. How often does an artist go out for a day's painting wearing a white shirt, neatly pressed trousers and of course a t...
- La Défense on Nov 19, 2009 in France Paris
I bought this card myself in 1992, for my son who was doing a project on the Grande Arche de la Défense, pictured on the card. It has never been through the mail. La Défense is one of the main business districts for Paris. It surrounds...

- Belfast Botanic Gardens and Irish miles on Nov 16, 2009 in Ireland
At first glance I thought this card was a picture of Kew Gardens and it wasn't until I saw the postmark Fivemiletown, Co. Tyrone, and wondered why it would be posted from there that I examined it further. It is dated 15 May 1968. Botanic Garden...
- Autumn on Nov 15, 2009 in miscellaneous
This really adorable card was sent to me by Mary of Mary Tomaselli's Photos - isn't he gorgeous?! He looks to me as though he's been tasting the early production of cider, judging by his eyes. The card is dated 19 September 2009 and postmarked...
