What a Scorcher, by Peter Adderley
Postcard sent by John (the UK) |
Every theme you can think of, there are postcards illustrating it!
Flying kites is a recently discovered hobby. When was the last time that you tried something new?
I've never flown a kite. The last time I tried something new was a few months ago when I ate cactus leaf at a restaurant. It was delicious.
ReplyDeleteCactus? I really would like to try it!
DeleteThey're cute postcards! I remember attempting to fly a kite with my dad when I was little, it didn't go very well but it's a nice memory.
ReplyDeleteMy A-Z theme is my Favourite Things and there's a bit of nostalgia today as K is for Kim Possible.
Kites can be really fun!
DeleteMy philosophy is to try something new/go someplace new every year. I last flew a kite with my cousin in Delhi oh, many years ago now, but the memory is still sparkly :)

That's a good philosophy!
DeleteSure can't remember the last time I flew a kite. My hometown in Wisconsin has a fancy kite-flying day in summer on the beach at Lake Michigan. These days, my adventures usually involve trying a new food! Not too adventurous.
ReplyDeleteFood For Thought
I don't think so. Some people never try new food!
DeleteKites are so close to so many childhood memories. I was always assigned the job of holder of string while my older cousins flew their kites. I didn't mind. Looking at life with new eyes, a new perspective keeps me busy these days:)
ReplyDeleteK is for Khamir
That a great adventure.
DeleteI am kite-challenged... but I *love* watching them fly!
ReplyDeleteIt's the only sport I find easy. Maybe because it isn't an sport at all...
DeleteI used a powered jig saw for the first time about a month ago, and I admit I was pretty nervous about it. In fact, I asked my son to do the job for me because I was a bit afraid I might cut off one of my fingers, but he was doing something work-related, so I did what had to be done. I still have all my fingers!
ReplyDeleteThat's only for brave people!
DeleteI was never very good at kite flying, so whenever I could get the kite to actually stay up, it was an amazing moment.
ReplyDeleteI try new roads, new recipes, and meet new people.

Yes, you feel great when the kite is so high...!
DeleteI also like to try new food (so I need to try new recipes!).
Last year I tried the hula hoop for the very first time :-) Of course I didn't succeed in keeping it at hip/belly height. Afterwards I've tried it a few more times, and my sole record is 6 'hoops' before it fell down :-)
ReplyDelete6 hoops?! You're the queen. I'm hopeless with the hula hoop!
DeleteBy the way, this question was suggested by you in the notebook letter :)
Now we are trying frisbee (actually, it's a flying ring; it's seems it's better for beginners). Because when we went to the beach and there were no wind, we feel frustrated. Nos we play frisbee, at least!
You're so sporty! Frisbee can be hard work :-)
DeleteThank you for being inspired by my words :-) I was hesitating to write about my first wave surfing (of which you know already), however, the hula hoop was more recent :-)
... and those 6 hoops I didn't repeat after the first (and only) personal record...
Delete:-)
I'm afraid I'm the contrary of "sporty". Even frisbee is too much for me! :/
DeleteI just... try to learn new things, especially to enjoy together with DH!
I just love flying Kite Eva, Infact I have been a good one at it. Now with the boys getting hold of all these I need to behave as a good mom and let go to them
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the Bloggers Pit Stop

How cool! You could teach me :)
DeleteI should have known what K would be for :)
ReplyDeletePhillip | K is for Kraft paper envelopes
I sent you a hint... :D
DeleteAh! Kites are interesting. Did you know there's a day dedicated to kite flying in India?
ReplyDeleteShubhangi @ The Little Princess
I would like that in my country! And which day is it?
DeleteWriting is my something new! I loved both the postcards today. Its marvellous the different types of postcards in the world! I am sure I am going to be looking out for postcard & their design next time I go on a vacation, cause of your series here.
ReplyDeleteCelebrating 'Women & their work' all April @NamySaysSo K for Kitchen Queen
I'm glad I am a good influence in that sense!:)
DeleteThis is an inventive post for postcards because I never would have thought there would be postcards with this. I do enjoy different postcards
ReplyDeleteOne thing I have learned is that there are postcards of everything you can imagine!
DeleteUsed to lots of kite flying took place when I was a boy. Haven't seen any for years. I will have to make do with your postcards instead.
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late to fly a kite, Bob!
DeleteI last flew a kite when my children were young. I still enjoy watching kites being flown. There's something about them dancing in the wind that appeals.
ReplyDeleteSuzy at Someday Somewhere
I feel free when flying a kite, that's it.
DeleteKites represent freedom to me, even though they are on a string! The freedom of childhood to play and to make the kite dance in the air.
ReplyDeleteMaui Jungalow
I completely agree.
DeleteI enjoy watching kites being flown. It has been a long time since I have tried to fly one.
ReplyDeleteI'm just learning.
DeleteI love the "what a scorcher" postcard! :D Cards like that definitely remind me of growing up in England.
ReplyDeleteHere's my "K" post :) http://nataliewestgate.com/2017/04/killer-secret-diary-of-a-serial-killer
Yes, that one is very English! :)
DeleteOh my goodness, I can't even remember the last time I tried to fly a kite! Wow, maybe I was 6 or 7, lol.
ReplyDeleteAt least you tried!
