> [@Helena330](#): > > Mine hasn’t gotten there? ☹ It’s in a yellow envelope. If it doesn’t arrive in the next few days, I’ll send another. Yours was one of the first to arrive, and I heralded its arrival in post #95! I think I only have confirmation that one set of my send cards have arrived. **Fluffy Picklesniffer** , **Helena330** - any word? ---

Kangaroos! I got a postcard with three kangaroos! It’ s from **Weedy** in Australia. Thanks a lot. You know, a lot of people think kangaroos are cute. They are, but the ones on the card are big enough I would be wary of them in the wild. ---

Woohooo! I came home from work today to find two postcards waiting for me from Teuton! One of Stonehenge - lovely view at sunset, I’ve never seen one like that before, and the other of a Caravan park which looks like a very nice place to visit! 😃 I have all my cards now - thanks everybody, this was fun! (as usual!) 🙂 ---
