Does anyone else, like me, enjoy receiving 'real' mail from all over the world? There are such a variety of members here that I thought it would be interesting to swap postcards of our town which have been written with a fountain pen. You could include details about the pen and ink you are using on the card, or just a general message about your hometown!
I'm happy to send postcards from Canterbury, United Kingdom to anyone who would like to receive one. Let me know in the forum below or send me a PM.
Postcard Swap Do you like receiving mail from far-flung corners of the world?

Sorry, it appears I hadn't updated for a few weeks! It seems that people are getting on without the list anyway, but doesn't hurt to update it. Anyone who posted but didn't explicity mention wanting to exchange cards I have refrained from adding.
Here's the list (as of edit date):

I would be up for it. I know there is a sticky post for those wishing to corespond via snail mail, perhaps with enough interest we could one for this as well. I would certainly like to see postcards from around the world, and it is a quicker process to just down a little info, about where we are, and what we are using.

I love this idea as well...you can benefit from cards from me in two different countries if this starts soon, because I'm in France for the summer before returning to Arizona. Cowboys n' fromage...

Have received such a lot of responses to this post! How about a central list of 'postcarders' which I would distribute to everyone who was interested. You could then send a postcard to the part of the world which interested you and then ask for one back...
I will send a few out on a 'first come first served' basis, but so far have about 10 addresses and can't send to everyone... sorry!

Perhaps like the leter writing thread. Everyone put there name on a list, and then make contact via the back channels.

Please include me. I need more excuses to use my pens.
I'll contribute nice cards from the Chesapeake Bay area!

I'd also be interested! At the moment a "real letter" is a bit daunting for me, but I like the idea of a post card
