This was my best day ever for postcards. I received three!! Two from England and one from Malta!! Thanks to @Asylum who sent two one from Manchester and the other from Malta and to @kevin1877uk who sent a lovely one from Plymouth. I have to say I am looking forward to getting my mail every day now which admittedly isn't the usual feeling I got before that when most of the mail was junk or bills!! Thanks to two very dear friends for the lovely cards.

It is quite a surprise to hear that both the Malta and Manchester postcards arrived together. Obviously they were mailed on separate days, which I think were almost a week apart. I sent three postcards from Malta to Mylot members and strolling around choosing them was quite nostalgic. It is a long time since I sent postcards while on holiday.

@BelleStarr They were mailed separately because I considered that it was important for the postcard from Malta to have a Maltese stamp and postmark and the Manchester postcard to have the British ones. I did have 130 for your address, which I have amended now. At least they did arrive irrespective of a slightly wrong address. The postman no doubt thought "Oh a postcard, this must be for the mad woman at 139".

lol That is so strange, I didn't check the postmark, I just assumed you mailed them together. by the way my street number is 139 both cards have a red tail on a zero , was that you or the post office? oops sorry I realize it was me when I sent you my address I put 130 dahhhh, my bad.

I am registered with postcrossing.com but stopped participating. The cost of postage here in Canada is just way too high. I liked receiving them but they are also more junk in my house that I don't need.

I think I am going to scrapbook them and make a copy of the back to put next to it and then I can enjoy them whenever I want to smile. Here sending two cards one international and one US was $1.45 I think, reasonable I thought. I mailed off two more today. I think the difference doing it on MyLot is that we know each other and now know each other even better, we are not total strangers. Plus the numbers are smaller I am sure.

The postage costs vary vastly from country to country, even more than one would expect. Here in England I pay £1.05 to send a postcard to the USA, but from Malta I mailed three and the total cost was about the same as one from here.
