Geography Postcards.

in short: AFTER placing the stamps HANDWRITE the address & text, (don't use printer, no stickers), place the stamps on the CARD with enough space around them.

the longer version for curious:

Dear all,
my given name is Wilhelm, english William

I am born and raised in lower saxony, the northern, flat part of germany.
My family is living in Wendesse, a very small village of meanwhile 166 inhabitants. Ours is an old farm house built in the years 1804-6 (after nearly the whole village burned down), which always needs some reconstruction / repairing.

The next town close to Wendesse is Peine, which was only famous for the still working steel-industry. We are in an area beetween Hannover and Braunschweig, Celle, Hildesheim and Salzgitter, or on a greater scale beetween the baltic sea and the Harz mountains. You might have heard from the Lüneburger Heide or Wolfsburg (home of the Volkswagen) which both are not so far away.

We have twin-girls born summer 2000. Both are hunters. Katharina is fan of solar eclipses.

I like traveling, sightseeing, hiking and total eclipses and I am always looking for not so known touristic attractions, especially UNESCO-sites. What is the place I must see close to your home?

I prefer postcards in UPRIGHT (portrait) format, as I used to collect them in my diary.

I mostly like postcards showing your local landmarks, regional sights, scenery, as I am always interested in discovering unknown places. Please leave WPD, art, shaped & meeting cards to the ones, who like them.

If you have the time to use real, if possible water activated, stamps and get hand (manual) postmark (cancellation) of them I would love that. I'm not a stamp collector, but I enjoy watching these little pieces of presenting national important details.

It would be nice to hear something personal from you.
And surly I like postcards for my birthday, christmas, easter or any feast out there, I do not know, yet.

If you like a reply to your postcard, please specify - I do not promise, but I´ll try to find time to answer, probably from my next vacation-location :-)

Many greetings throughout the world, may your mailbox always be full and make you happy!
your
Wilhelm
