This postcard comes to us from a postcrosser named Sarah in Birmingham, England. She writes: Hello to you both from Birmingham, England! I've lived here for five years now - I study at the University  - and I love it. There's always something going on - at the moment we have an International food festival! I saw it today - loads of market stalls in one of the pedestrian streets and everything smells delicious. Hopefully well be named " European City of Culture" in 2013... Happy Postcrossing! - Sarah

This is a postcard from a postcrosser in Great Britain named Laura. She writes: My name is Laura & I live in Bournemouth, which is on the south coast of England. I have chosen a postcard that shows some places and areas near by. What it does not tell you is that Mary Shelly, who wrote Frankenstein is buried alongside her husband in a church in Bournemouth town center. Hope that is an interesting fact (it sure is wow thank you so very much!) Best wishes & happy lives - Laura.
