Sending a postcard

Something in the time since starting this blog in late 2018 I hadn't talked a little about is postcards which pre-social media was the way we all let people know about what we were doing while away.

I sent loads as a boy on various trips and even as a an adult did send postcards whenever I was away and so it was little different if you were at Camp with the Cubs or Scouts

Here we have a postcard from Italy actually features a scout resting an a river bank in his uniform as a rowing boy passes by which is really rather lovely.

No doubt he's thinking about what he's done and the other things that are lined up to do.

I always valued my time away for that.
