Back from holidays

I came back home from my holidays to find these wonderful postcards in my letter-box:

Estonia
Eestimaa

1. Angla windmills.
2. Taevaskoja and Ahja Primeval Valley.
3. Kingfisher.

Elena, who lives in St-Petersburg, went to Tallinn for holidays and sent me this. Elena was once my swap partner on Postcrossing and we have been swapping cards regularly since then.

Police of Poland promotional card for Euro2012

Ania worked as a volunteer during the last Eurocup which was hosted by Poland and Ukraine. She gathered a few promotional postcards from the event and offered to send them to her readers. Of course, being a footie fan I requested one! Now I have a souvenir from the championship my country won.
