Mumsnetters of the world - can you send postcards please

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 parkSmile

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

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

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.🤣

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