Taking some good advice

Last week when I felt sorry for myself over the fact that the postcard frenzy has suddenly dried up, I was given some good advice from @MALUSE to head back to my stash of postcards from an era before me . . .
I found this beautiful one sent from Switzerland ~ Helvetia says the stamp ~ to Else in Germany, in the year 1959. The Year I was Born!
I love the waterfall and it fits in with my theme of travel of late, traipsing all over the countryside and climbing to places only goats normally go . . .
(not quite sure where the picture was taken, maybe someone can give us more information on that)
Last night I started watching a new series called 'The Durrells' - "The Durrells is a British comedy-drama series based on Gerald Durrell's three autobiographical books about his family's four years on the Greek Island of Corf" and so it seems I find myself in Greece once more and I am loving it.
I think my two visits to Europe most certainly put new flavours of enjoyment into my memory bank and I just cannot get away from them. I actually seek them out!

Now that my bathroom renovation is nearly complete, we are taking a break and I hope to build up my postcard arrivals too by getting them out. I miss Barry's travel cards. They were really wonderful.

@Asylum They certainly did. It was fun to travel along via the post cards. You always chose wonderful cards.

The picture is great, only the haystacks are telling us that it is not from this century.

I love the quote. I love that postcard you found of Switzerland, but knowing nothing about Switzerland, I hope someone can tell you more about it.
Enjoy the new series about Greece, and good Monday morning to you too, though I'm sure it's much later by now.

When I was younger I collected postcards, but gave them away later so I don't have many left.

I really like postcards but I've never got the chance to have a collection of them.
