A Postcard a Day- Friday 11 Sept 2015, Friday Smiles

Good Morning, 



 I'm linking up with Annie's Friday Smiles. I love Friday Smiles as it bursts with positive vibes and nice things and of course each post I read makes me smile for a different reason.

I feel very blessed that I live in a village, and that I know the butcher, the baker (and the candlestick maker) ahem, I meant the postmaster. His name is Juan. He's a lovely man and always helpful and accommodating. Here he is posing patiently.

 When I told him he was going to feature in my blog he smiled shyly. I see a lot of Juan as I post lots of postcards and I'm always asking him for pretty stamps!



I do www.postcrossing.com so I send and receive postcards from all over the world. I have so far only ever had one card from Norway. Here it is:
It was sent to me by Marit who is a dairy farmer and a rural postman. (I don't know if Marit is male or female....)
The picture features bridal dresses from Hardanger. Aren't they beautiful.

The stamp has a little hedgehog on it.
By the looks of it they call a hedgehog 'piggsvin' in Norwegian.

I read something remarkable about the Norwegian 
flag the other day:
The flags of six other countries can be found within the Norwegian flag! Clever!

Now something to make you smile...although I suppose only for UK people, other nationalities won't 'get it' as they don't have Dr Who:
That's it from me for today.

I hope you all have a fantastic Friday. 

Keep Smiling!
