Today I received 4 new postcards which the postman (or postlady?) put them on my house gate. I reckon later that he (or she) couldnt put them on the proper mailbox due to my daughter's car blocking the access to it. It's okay, but luckily it was only a grizzly rains.

For the postcards,

1. Florian, Austria, "Best wishes from Austria!"

2. Simone, Germany, "Dear Wak Tiga Lalat, this is the only sunshine postcard which I had at home for you. I hope you will like it. At the moment the meadows and forests look diffrently. It's winter over here and we have minus temperatures and frosted trees. Many greetings from Germany, Simone.

3. Jacinta, France, "Hello, I like to travel. I will soon leave in Lisbonn. I watched documentaries that made me think a lot - Earthlings and conspiracy. Do you know? They are very hard videos but I think we all look. I wish ou the best in 2017. Jacinta.

4. Jill, Canada, "Greetings from NE Ontario. WE are a way from seeing this scene, as the lakes are frozen. We have some snow on the ground but generally it has been a mild winter, so far. I have postcrossing for over 2 years, so enjoy seeing what will be in the mailbox. Hope your mailbox is full of great cards! Jill"

Thank you guys! I appreciate it very much.

5. Judith from Austria. She wrote, "Hello from Austria! Thanks for the swap! I like photography too. At the moment, my favourite camera is my fuji X20 and my old Polaroid SX70.
