Postcard back..

    Fab postcard Darcy! I wonder what he has left for Ren! I noticed one of the postmarks was Le Treport, I went there with my school in the 70's!

    I love that you found an old medicine label in French - round the house, out and about or on the world wide web?! Those photo corners are fab.

    Darcy I am loving all your postcards :-)

    And although I don't get around all the blogs I do try to look at those posted on the facebook group each week . . . totally inspiring.

    Now I understand the linky will aim to do it each week . . . the word being aim ;-)
