I had written about the post office on this postcard: the oldest working post office in the world, as recognized by the Universal Postal Union and the Guinness Book of Records. It is located in Sanquhar, Scotland. So, I was more than happy to receive a postcard showing it, sent by John (the UK)! You can read on this John's blog post about his visit to that place.
As a bonus, this card was posted in a pillar box painted gold to celebrate Andy Murray's 2012 Olympic gold medal.
WoW!! Wish I had a postcard from the oldest post office in the world in my collection...Great!!o͜͡o
ReplyDeleteIt was anice surprise in my mailbox.
DeleteI've only known about Sanquhar for a couple of years - I wonder if it was your post that I earned about it from?
ReplyDeleteIf so, that's perfect: my post brought me this super postcard! Thanks, John.
DeleteI like also that you posted in that golden mailbox.
I think it might have featured on a stamp once but also nice to see its surrounding area.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't a bad design, in my opinion.
DeleteOhh wow! What a great piece for your collection! I prefer single view postcards but this multiview with interesting features on each frame makes me want to change my preference.
ReplyDeleteI usually prefer single views, too, because they allow to appreciate the tiny details. But sometimes I don't mind, if the postcard is interesting enough. I'm very happy with this one!
