Hello Chris! I was a librarian in London for 27 years. Gave it up a few years ago to look after my dad. Now I'm an emergency call handler for the London Ambulance Service. Very stressful job at the moment! I hope you like this card. Best wishes, Phil.

Hi, I am a retired high school teacher. I volunteer once a week to help children with their reading. That gives me time to indulge my love of travelling. Julian (who has sent and received over 10,000 postcards through Postcrossing!)

Dancing Thistles, Sophie Appleton, 2011
I love books where the blurb shouts so-and-so inherits an old house! I probably don't mind what genre the book is, as long as the heroine sets to make the house beautiful again. One of my favorite books is Thornyhold by Mary Stewart, in which Cilly inherits her cousin's house and book of recipes and spells - white magic - and has to take up her place in the local community. Exploring a house makes me very happy! Especially if there's lots of detail and the house needs to be loved. Lol, I think I am going to start a list on GR! Love, Jodie

Hi Chris I hope you like this painting. The woman may not be reading a book but it looks as if she's completely engrossed by her letter. I live, very quietly, in a small town near the sout coast of England. I enjoy crochet but I've completely failed to get my mind (or my hands) around knitting! I hope you're ejouying the spring and that you have a very happy birthday. With best wishes, Serena

Hello Chris from Detroit. I hope you like this cemetery card. I'm a 70 year old retiree living with my husband, Peter, and our pet dog, Nellie. We recently had 5 inches of snow in one day and are told to expect a similar amount in a few days - a lot for here. Marc

The Basingstoke Canal is a good place for walking and cycling.
Just to the southwest of London, this is quite a busy area, but there is also some lovely countryside. The green fields are no brown due to the current heatwave. Best wishes, Christine

Hi kids,
What a great school project! these houses date back before 1800 when slate for roofs started to become commercially available. Today they are expensive to maitain, and difficult to insure because of fire risk. But they look beautiful and there are still thousands around in the UK, and other parts of Europe. I live in Droitwick, Worcestershire.
Best Regards, Duncan
