All my postcards are special..........

but this one is a

little bit

Xtra

special !

It was sent to me
by my cousin Valerie,
who I have had no
contact with until this
year since 1966!!

Facebook has its Pros and Cons,
This was a Pro :-)

I found a cousin and her daughter
 in South Africa, my second cousin
and his wife in Malta,
a second cousin in Denmark and 
 my cousin Valerie's grown up children,
who contacted her for me.


 To think that
Valerie and her family
have been living in
ITALY
all this time,
so close and we
never knew!


Thank you for the lovely card!
Hopefully see you soon xx

  6. A really lovely story. I think all this new technology is amazing, such as facebook, blogging etc. It makes the world seem a much smaller place somehow.
