I got a lovely card from **needscoffee** : cherry blossoms at the UW campus in Seattle. I know the place, I spent two months there last autumn, and have seen the very trees depicted on the card, though without the flowers.

What a small world! But I’ve never been to Switzerland. Or Spain, but I kind of like the music…
