Received card #39

My 39th card came from Trimley St Martin outside of Felixstowe in the east of England. From the pictures on the card the latter looks like a very charming town. :-) But it's also Europe's busiest container port - I didn't know that, so I learned something new from this card. :-)

David (who's #2 in the UK!) also told me about a film made in Felixstowe - some friends of his made it, it was called The Lost Sock and was about aliens landing on the pier. :-D I think I'd like to see that film ... ;-)

The card was sent on January 13th and reached me in only three days, after traveling 1,060 kilometers.

Received card #16

More fun on November 4th. :-)

This card came from Alex in Oldham in the Manchester area. He is the #5 Postcrosser in the UK, so that was kind of cool. :-) The card he sent wasn't entirely local, it was from Cheshire, which Alex said is near where he lives ... and it certainly has some very pretty images on it. The 'charms of Cheshire' indeed.

The card was sent on November 2nd, and it needed only two days to cover the 1,056 kilometers to Oslo. The Royal Mail is very efficient when it chooses to be. ;-)
