On Our Travels With Darcy's Post Card Challenge - Wales

As I am from a mining town, a Cumbrian not a Welsh one, I had to include the black hills that once marked the landscape of such towns.  I have been a Rugby fan all my life so what else but a Rugby player, all be it a young one, in his Welsh shirt.To finish off my card I could not believe it when I found this stamp in my collection from many many years ago. My book page was created in Craft Artist.

Thank you so much all of you who have come along and looked at my postcards and been kind enough to leave a comment.

    The "mining" postage is a wonderful bit of serendipity! great idea to feature rugby (I don't think anyone else did).
