Pretty ATCs with the bold flower and different stencilled backgrounds.
Lovely weather for your outing playing tourists with your friend and the area looks idyllic xxx
Beautiful ATCs Kathy. TFS the photos of your trip out with your pal. I love trying to work out where you are if you are fairly local. If I’m not mistaken, this is a hamlet near a castle? I haven’t been there for years, thanks for the inspiration to visit again. xx
Pretty ATC's Kathy, and great pictures bet you were glad it was fine,
