This is such a charming article! Thanks so much for this. I’m a postcard collector myself and love to try and decipher the handwriting on the back (not always easy). I agree – forget Twitter and send a postcard!
What a great post.. I enjoyed this very much. I love sending postcards. As I live on the other side of the world from my family and friends I occasionaly write a postcard or letter just so they don’t forget about me
What a lovely and interesting article. I enjoyed each postcard posted!

Lovely article, and this tradition certainly needs reviving! Though I have to correct your comment on the First World War: Britiain (the last of the warring nations to go to war) declared war on Germany on the 4th August, after Germany’s invasion of Belgium, so by the 12th August postcard war had already arrived.
