A new country postcard came though my letterbox this morning from Postcard Blogger Sue in Malaysia. The card shows Besarah fishing village in Pahang State. It is famous for its prawn crackers and beautiful beaches. The village is 10 km north of Kuantan, the State capital. Cards with scenes like this always warm my winter :)
