Hello again; Jemma here!   This is my second attempt to having a blog about my Postcrossing adventures. I have been a little inactive when it came to posting; but I have decided that it is time to start again.   I have a Flickr account - the slideshow is the images of postcards that I have sent and received.   I also all excited about blogging once again. I have some pages which may be of interest to you all!   Enjoy!   Jemma
