Quite a Collection from the South of Spain 3 November, 2006 — Hazel

I'm getting ever so close to 100 postcards

Greetings postcarders, I have here in my hands 4 postcards from Malaga, Spain.

They are from two of my uncles, Steve and Pete, and one of them if of a town I went to a few years ago called Ronda. It seemed like a tiny place at the time, but the picture makes it look quite big. It's a beautiful place, but I don't remember there being many places to drink! I remember it has a Cheese and Ham Boutique though, which surely makes up for the lack of cerveza.

The other three postcards feature black and white photographs, two are representing Flamenco, and the other is three men struggling with a pig. The latter is apparently from Antony Worrall Thompson. Usually of a gullible nature, I decided to make some checks before doing the usual thing of reading the name of the sender first, then thinking excitedly that my site had caught the attention of a dwarflike ginger chef. Spanish stamp: check. Familiar handwriting: check. Aha! I'm just waiting for the day when someone sends me a postcard pretending to be Mark Lanegan. I'd be going 'Ha, as if, nice try!' whilst secretly smelling and kissing the postcard and sleeping with it under my pillow.
