About hopper7782...
I am 48,a mother of 2 and live in Coventry,England.I llike to learn about the history of my local area and visit the museums.I would love to spread my wings and travel the world but I' m quite happy to be an armchair traveller for now,though I do get itchy feet watching documentaries about far away places.I would love to visit Petra,Machu Pichu,Angkor Wat,Egypt and Easter Island..I love tortoises-I've got one now I've had for 32years!I like all sorts of music-whatever takes my fancy,especially Bon Jovi!My hobbies are reading,collecting postcards,especially vintage,crochet and watching history programmes.I have quite a nice collection of old cards,my oldest being 107 years old! Postcards are my way of escaping for a little while.I love wondering about who wrote it,where it came from and how many hands and countries it's passed through to get to me.The type of postcards I would like to receive are:
Ancient monuments/historical sites
National costumes
Local customs/traditions
Famous landmarks/buildings
Views of where you live/your country
History
Textiles
German weather houses
Tortoises
Lighthouses
Seaside piers
Old sailing ships/ships figureheads
Frida Kahlo
Paris
Hawaii
Pictorial maps
Witches
I hope to get some cards from Italy,Switzerland,Prague(where I visited in 1970,aged 5)and ,France and Germany,also visited when I was a teenager.
I like both photographic and illustrated of all the above
Take a look at my favourites to give you an idea of what I like.I do appreciate a beautiful view too even though there aren't many on my favourites wall! I get drawn in by all the illustratrated maps and national costumes!
Please don't send cars,planes,cats,dogs or horses as these are my least favourite.

I have a postcard with national costume on sent to me from Ukraine on 3.7.14- it has no ID number on it so I can't register it.
