As for stagecoaches I'm sure you are right. In reality it must have been a very bumpy ride to travel any great distance in one, on the roads as they were back then. And still they seem to represent something of grandeur from the past.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-79142907029826872342013-06-25T08:26:38.817+02:002013-06-25T08:26:38.817+02:00You have chosen two things which are of considerab...You have chosen two things which are of considerable interest to me too Monica. Castles is understandable given that I live in Britain which is full of them. As to why I have always loved pictures of stagecoaches I'm not sure. Perhaps it is the romance (rather than the reality!) of travel.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-54524299796538858992013-06-23T22:43:26.043+02:002013-06-23T22:43:26.043+02:00One side effect for me is that it improves my know...One side effect for me is that it improves my knowledge of geography - esp Eastern Europe so far.

If they are long on the same district I think they do form an image of some of the people the deliver to. But I'm not sure how they are organized now, if maybe they shift districts more often in town. I only see them if they happen to come while I am coming or going myself, they never ring on the door. Things too big to push through the letterbox are withheld already at the sorting and we just get a note to pick it up (at the supermarket nowadays for me).DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-66686471655319162042013-06-23T10:37:58.923+02:002013-06-23T10:37:58.923+02:00I'm enjoying it Meike.

Even before I used to buy cheap cards at markets etc and stock up a variety of them. Now I buy when I come across cards that seem especially well suited for postcrossing.

I wonder whether they think about the people they deliver mail to; such as: "Oh, all of sudden a lot of postcards have started coming to this address. I wonder who the recipient is.
