Hello lovely peeps,
I'm still on my travels. On Monday I flew from England to Rome in Italy, and from there I got a bus across the country to where my son lives.
But let's start with my postcard:
It comes from from Hyein in Korea. The food on the card is songpyeon. It is a traditional food made of rice powder.
What is songpyeon? I looked it up:
Songpyeon (송편) is a must-have Chuseok delicacy. These small half-moon shaped rice cakes (tteok, 떡) are stuffed with sweet fillings such as sweetened sesame seeds and traditionally steamed on a bed of pine needles. The name songpyeon stems from the use of pine needles, because “song” in “songpyeon” means pine tree.
The stamp is very beautiful. The dragon's head is a shiny material that reflects the light. Very pretty, but doesn't photograph very well.
It is a stamp from 2023: Chinese New Year 2024 - from the series Towards the Year of the Dragon:
Today of course is T-Day, and to be able to participate in the T-Party, hosted by Bluebeard and Elizabeth, I should share a drink.
Today I'm traveling back to Spain, so this post has been written in advance. I've had a lovely time with my son in Italy. The occasion was my grandson's first communion. (yes, he has long hair)
Today is T for Tuesday and I need a drink:
Me and my daughter-in-law having an aperitif.
Here is a photo for Elizabeth, who likes palm trees:
My grandson did his first communion. I'm not a Catholic, but I know it's a big deal and they have a big party afterwards.They are my grandson, me, my sister and my son in Pescara, a city not far from where they live.
Here I am with my grandson, who is ten years old, in the church courtyard after the mass.
This is all I have time for.
Happy T-Day all!
Lisca

It sounds like you had a lovely trip Lisca, and I hope you had a nice trip home too. I haven't heard of songpyeon, but they are very pretty. I wonder if the pine needles flavor them at all. And it's great to see the photos of your grandson and your son and daughter-in-law too. Did your sister come along for the trip too? Have a wonderful T day and week ahead. hugs-Erika
I thought the images on the postcards were jewels or minerals. Little cakes would be so much better. They are so pretty. Wonderful that you got to share in your grandson's First Communion Day. You have a beautiful family. The little guy has a killer smile. I think he gets that from you. Happy T Day
