A Note To My Aunty

Those of you that follow my blog will know that I have a huge desire to sort out my clutter both offline and online but little motivation to do so.

Added to that is the implication of HF21 where authors earnings will be down and I've been thinking about ways to keep myself posting regularly.

In the middle of the night I awoke with an idea to tackle both issues. I have a pile of old postcards that have been lying around for years. Why not start to send them out and tell a little story about them I thought? Oooo yes. And I could use the #lifestyle tag too. 😁

So this is the first postcard.

I'm sending it to my aunty who is in her 90s and had a fall last week. She loves to receives things in the post so I'll know she'll enjoy it.

As you can see it's of the Oregon Coast.

When my daughter was little I lived in Seattle for a few years and I spent many a happy hour looking at property and land in Oregon. I was dreaming of building a retreat centre and, I remember one piece of land where I fantasised about building little chalets down a very steep slope to the beach.

This was a long time ago, before Portland had been discovered as an "in" place to live, and properties and land were very cheap compared to that around the Seattle area and pennies compared to prices in the UK.

The ideas never came to anything though and we left the States and moved on. You may have to wait for me to find another postcard to learn where to exactly. 😂
