A pleasant surprise in the mail today

Over recent years I have managed to travel quite regularly, both here in the United Kingdom and overseas. This provided me with the opportunity to find postcards in many places last year, which I sent to a few friends here at Mylot. However, due to health issues which have made me too weary to travel, this all ended in January this year.
Much to my surprise, the postman delivered the above shown postcard today, along with the usual bucketful of junk mail of course.
It is very thoughtful of @Jeanniemaries to send this, especially at a time when she knows that I will not be likely to return the favour in the near future.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Sadly such mail is far less frequent than it was when we were younger.

My Godsister sent me a Birthday card about twelve days back now and I still have it on display.
Nothing like a real card to lift your spirits and she always remembers me too.

@arthurchappell It has been several months since I started chemotherapy and it is still difficult to travel into the city centre.

That's a very nice postcard and very thoughtful of her to send it to you. I hope you still get to go for short road trips every once in a while.

I think it's pretty cool that she sent you that, I'm sure she will be blessed enough that you enjoyed receiving it.
