A Postcard a Day / Friday 10 June / Friday Smiles

 

Hello lovely ladies,

Here we are again at the end of another week. It-s not been an easy week for me. As you know I have had Covid and then hubby, who is ill with bowel cancer, also caught it and was very ill indeed. But luckily we got over this. Hubby is recuperating and has been outside for the first time this afternoon (we just went to do a bit of shopping, but it was okay).

My postcard comes from Finland. It is a lovely poster of Imperial Airways:

It makes me think of old fashioned long-haul flights to exotic destinations. Wikipedia writes this:

Imperial Airways was the early British commercial long-range airline, operating from 1924 to 1939 and principally serving the British Empire routes to South Africa, India, Australia and the Far East, including Malaya and Hong Kong. 

Passengers were typically businessmen or colonial administrators, most flights carried about 20 passengers or less. 

Accidents were frequent: in the first six years, 32 people died in seven incidents. Imperial Airways never achieved the levels of technological innovation of its competitors and was merged into the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) in 1939. BOAC in turn merged with the British European Airways (BEA) in 1974 to form British Airways.

They seem to advertise 'reliability', but the Wiki article mentions many accidents....

The stamp is really nice with a lot of sky and clouds which tie in nicely with the aviation theme.

As we have not been well, I don't have many photos from this week, but of course there have been highlights.

Hubby baked some pancakes the other day 

(and promptly was ill the next day because he probably ate too many!)

He also loves going to our plot, a five minute drive cross country and through a riverbed.  We have two greenhouses/polytunnels, but this one in the next picture is not being used yet. 

We have the greenhouses for a bit of shade. 

Our fruit tress, although young are doing very well:

The most prolific of the cherries are now covered with netting to prevent the birds from eating all the cherries.

Now it is time to go and link up with Annie at A Stitch In Time and share all our smiles.

Of course I will be putting some funnies (and thinkies) at the end of this post.

Have a lovely weekend,

Keep smiling,

Hugs,

Lisca
