Mumsnetters of the world - can you send postcards please

[brittanyfairies]

I work in a bilingual creche with children aged 0 to 3 years old, in Brittany, France. Just like all the other children in the world we are currently on lockdown.

Our project this year is the world. Because of the lockdown the only thing (apart from play) our little ones can do is go for a walk to our post box every day which is at the bottom of the car park

I wondered if kind mumsnetters and their children would send us postcards from the towns, cities and countries where they live. We have a world map on the wall and we've received some cards from friends abroad already.

The children love to receive the cards, look at the picture and talk about who sent them.

We would be really grateful, you can write in French or English 🤣

Our address is

Le P'tit Club, 3 Rue de la Ferme de Talhouët, 56250 Saint-Nolff, France

Thanks so much

We can definitely send one from Australia!

I'll send one. I'll use one of my own photos that I took from a nearby landmark if that's OK.

Added to my watch list. Will post you a card tomorrow

Just need a pic of the local castle and will send one! How sweet.

I'll send one tomorrow

@Ormally I love that!

I would love to too! I wont tell you where I'm from so its a surprise, but neither France or UK!

All done! I hope you get lots of post cards!

Add me in and getting someone way out west to send also.
Say hi to your litt’luns.
Really moving to think of them all excited putting coats on to walk to post box.

I've screenshot the address, I'll try remember. My daughter would love to do this.

Thank you all so much. You have no idea what this is going to mean to them.

The oldest ones are only 2.5 years but they love getting the cards, looking at the pictures, talking about them and then looking on the map to find the countries.

All their usual visits have been cancelled because of covid, so taking it in turns to walk to the post box is literally the highlight of the day. Only 2 can go at a time so all the others wait by the door to see if there is anything. The last 2 days have only been bills.🤣

I'll do it, I'm trying to learn French so it might be in my best GCSE/ duo lingo french

What a lovely idea! I'm in South-West England if that's not too boring. Also learning French so I'll do my best French as it'll be good practice for me too.

All done. Thanks for the Touchnote tip @ariettesmall. I used this photo of this massive narrowboat that I saw on a walk the other day. I have lots of lovely scenary photos, but thought this might appeal to the audience a bit more.

Yay! So glad I've managed to introduce someone else to what I feel is a fantastic app. It really does make posting a postcard so much simpler and quicker

Yes, great idea!!

Yes I'll do this - thanks for the recommendation of the app, ariettesmall. I was pondering where to get a postcard as I don't have any in my card box.

I will do this at the weekend, it's a wonderful thing. Much love to your charges, they sound fabulous.

Postcard sent from Scotland OP

I'll send one from Canada but it might take a while to get to you, Canada Post international really isn't the fastest service!

Done.. what a lovely idea, brittanyfairies :)

Oh I love Brittany .
My DH and I work at the Festival Interceltique in Lorient every year and we have both performed there.
Demat !
