    Default My special InCoWriMo Birthday

    This year on Feb 1st it was my 60th birthday and I'm such a lucky chap, among the many birthday greetings and cards that I received from my InCoWriMo friends was this wonderful letter from Marie in the Czech Republic, Marie's letters are always great but this one, all hand done, with a Medieval style border and with a present of a lovely Czech Republic Postage stamp minature sheet of the rather fine St Vitus Cathedral just blew me away, I'm going to have to find something special to send back. Thank you so very much Marie...

    It's always a treat to receive one of Marie's letters. Lucky you Potter, and happy belated birthday!

    That is a most lovely looking letter and what beautiful handwriting. I wish I could write half as well as that.

    You are indeed a very lucky person.

    Belated Happy Birthday.

    Wishing you another belated happy birthday.

    The Czech Republic Postage stamp minature sheet of St Vitus Cathedral is sublime.

    Marie's letters are so artistically refined and such a treat to open.
    It doesn't seem a fair exchange & I always feel scabby sending my letters back to her.
