Hello, my name is Nigel

I am from Swansea, on the coast of South Wales, In the 19th century, our town was the biggest producer of copper in the world and picked up the nickname of "Copperopolis". Described by Dylan Thomas as "An ugly, lovely town", I think it is still ugly in it’s centre but with some of the loveliest parks and countryside, and close to the beautiful beaches of Gower
I am still working.
I collect postcards, stamps, badges etc. In my spare time I enjoy visiting the beach or riding my motorcycle.

.... Firstly, and most important..... Any card, on any subject you have, I will be happy to receive. This includes handmade cards. And if all you have are free cards or advertising cards, then no problem, send those as well, especially if they are local to you. Write a message and post.

If your card is personal to you then let me know. Is it a favourite musician or band? or a sports team you follow? or a charitable group you support or work with? or a hobby you enjoy? even a national personality or politician? I'm interested, especially if it is lesser known or just local to your home..

If like me you enjoy sending a card that suits the receiver, then a few possible suggestions follow.

Rugby,
Lighthouses
Art Nouveau or Art Deco Graphic and Poster Artists.
Post box's, Mailbox's and Letterbox's
Tom Waits, any card with him would be much appreciated.
Any card with a national or regional flag or coat of arms.
Something with your national or local art, cinema, theatre or culture. I especially like children of the world in local costumes.

Art from books, comics and magazines.
fairy tales, folklore, children's books in general, pulp fiction covers,
My particular favourites are the various international versions of Alice in Wonderland (already have lots of the Walt Disney Alice)

Children's TV and Films - Old fashioned children's TV, either animated or drama, and the older pre-1980's children's films. These are because I'm getting old and nostalgic, and would love to know if your countries t.v and films have ever been shown in the UK..

If you are sending a card with a city or tourist view, I like the ones with place names or country names on the front, which is easier for me and my family and friends to identify when they look through an album.

Recently, I have been adding and organising cards on my "favourites" wall, which are a good guide to what I like, so take a look if you need some guidance. When I receive a card from you I don't "Favourite" it, but I sometimes look at your "sent" cards and pick out a different card to add to my own wall.

... Finally. Any card on any subject is welcome.

Thank you for reading my profile, and I hope you all receive a good selection of cards from around the world.

Best wishes and happy postcrossing
