Postcard Swap - Wren receives her fifth card.

Wren was excited to receive her fifth card in the post this morning.

She loves the vintage look of the card.

Who is it from?

It is from her friend Sindy Shiloh.  

She loves the Christmas stamp and smiley faces.

Thank you for her lovely card Sindy Shiloh!

 

Postcard Swap - Wren receives her fourth card!

Wren is delighted to receive her fourth postcard

She thinks this postcard swap is such fun, and hopes that more people will join in.

Oh look, the card shoes places in Bath.

It is from her friend Ada Makie (and Ada's person, Jessica)

She is thrilled that Ada managed to get this postcard to send to her.  

Wren's person has been to Bath, many years ago now when she was home-educating The Sailor.  It was so fascinating to visit with all its Roman history.  Wren hopes she will get to visit Bath one day.

Thank you Ada for this lovely postcard.  It was fun to see the lovely pictures of places in Bath.

It’s a picture of the Isle of Wight!

How lovely

Thank you very much, Wren! I will send you one soon.

Love Ada xxx

Postcard Swap - Wren receives her third card!

Wren shows off her third postcard.

It is so pretty 

It is from her friend Annie Makie in Minnesota.

She loves the stamps on the card as well.

Wren was due to go to Minnesota in 2019 with Henry but their human wasn't well so it had to be cancelled.  Such a shame as she was looking forward to seeing all the beautiful Lakes that Annie writes about on the card.  Who knows whether she will ever get the opportunity to go again...

Thanks so much Annie for my lovely card!

 

Postcard Swap - Wren receives her second card!

Wren is delighted to show you her second postcard she has received on the postcard swap.

The postcard is from her friend 'First Last' in North Shields

She is thrilled to receive the card and hopes that her friend can visit some new places soon.

Such a lovely card.

Thank you Lorna and First Last. 

 

Postcard Swap - Wren receives her first card!

Wren was absolutely delighted to receive her first postcard today for the postcard swap all the way from Alaska.

She slows it to Kiwi Sindy who is taking a short break from whatever it was she was doing!

She loves the happy looking wolf on the front.  She was interested to read that Alaska is home to an estimated 7,000 to 11,000 wolves, and that they have been threatened or endangered in Alaska.

Isn't it a lovely card?

She reads the back delighted to hear that Beatrix enjoyed her trip to the Pioneer Park. 

She was especially tickled to see the Scooby-Doo stamp on the back and can't wait to show it to the Scooby Doo Makies. 

Thank you so very much for this fabulous card Beatrix, it is wonderful.

 

Postcard Swap: Beatrix receives a card from Wren - Alaska

Beatrix was so happy to get her postcard from the Isle of Wight! She went on a little trip of her own today to Pioneer Park in downtown Fairbanks, Alaska...

Bea received her postcard from Wren!

Beatrix thought she would send a postcard back to Wren and tell her about one of her favorite places in Fairbanks, Pioneer Park. A little park filled with relocated cabins from the Alaska Gold Rush days, memorials to our river boating past, and Alaska railroad memorabilia.

Bit of a balancing act here...

The restoration of this old boat taking place even as the winter starts...

The little place is affectionately nicknamed 'the pickle barrel' by locals, It hosts a once monthly art exhibition of artists from all over Alaska.

The iron raven

Each cabin from the gold rush comes with a little bit of history

Fun with an old dogsled.

Then inside to warm up with hot coco. Tomorrow she'll get her postcard in the mail to Wren. 

Wren is looking forward to receiving her card from Beatrix. :)
