About Katri...
Hello, dear Friends, my name is Katri.
I was born in England to an English mum and Finnish father. Most of my life has been spent in Vancouver, B.C., but when younger I also lived and worked in other countries. I'm now retired.
My partner (who was also born in England) and I love to come back to U.K. a couple of times a year. Staying in a small village on the coast is a delightful change from being in busy Vancouver. We also head south to the U.S. in the winter to enjoy the sunshine.
If you receive a card from me with stamps put on crooked, or writing that isn't too neat, please forgive me... some days my hands are very clumsy from arthritis. I do try to make your card legible!
As well as lots of travel, some of my favourite pastimes are:
drinking too many cups of tea
reading mysteries, preferably ones set in other countries
smiling at dogs, they usually wag and 'smile' back
I smile at people, too ;-)
visiting botanical gardens, arboretums, and museums
watching wild birds, looking for wild flowers
taking long walks on our seawall and in parks
seeing movies in the cinema on a big screen
indulging my love of chocolate
I love cute illustrations and random surprise cards! I just like so many different things I've given up on a list. Christmas and other holiday cards are welcome. 😊
A personal message about anything... weather, pets, likes, dislikes, will be very appreciated.
Thank you very much for reading my profile. I feel lucky to have found Postcrossing. ❤️ Even though I've received many cards I value each and every one.
