This postcard was originally sent to me in October by my sister, and arrived today. I guess it took its own sweet Jamaican time to get here. Even though the frank mark is dated the 29th of January!

Yah Mon, Irie!

A Surprise Find! February 4, 2009

Filed under: England, Spain, Undated — Invisible Woman @ 10:20 pm

This evening a friend of mine were reminiscing a particular time and I commented that I had old photos somewhere and he was keen to see, as I was rummaging around in my old photo piles and found a bunch of postcards from a few years ago that I must have packed away with my photos when I emigrated.

Firstly a few postcards I picked up on a weekend trip to Barcelona for a surprise 21st birthday -

barcelonaThis is the Sagrada Familia, designed by Gaudi . Construction began in 1882 and continues to this day.

segradaThis is another shot of Segrada Familia.

 

picasso2-medium I picked these two postcards (above and below) at Museu Picasso de Barcelona. The portrait below reminded me of someone I knew.

These next few postcards I picked up on my trip to cornwall - 

stonehenge1The beautiful Stonehenge

mousehole1One of my favourite places in Cornwall – Mousehole. I have a lot of fond memories of this little harbour village  :)

Botswana Leopards February 2, 2009

Filed under: Botswana — Invisible Woman @ 5:31 pm

Botswana

This postcard was welcoming me home from work today all the way from Pradeep in Botswana :D one the back is written –  ’Leopards are probably Africsa’s most beautiful and elusive cats, seldom seen due to their solitary behaviour. Of all the big cats they are the most at home in trees where they rest or store their prey out of reach of lions and hyenas.’
