A unused postcard from the early 20th century. No indication of publisher only the instruction that is for inland postage only, at a price to send of half a penny. Just think our postage is due to go up 10 times that amount next month. The decline in the number of items posted is one of the reasons the increase is so much, according to Royal Mail. I'm doing my bit in sending lots of post, but of course this card is from the golden age when everyone sent mail.
I like the pink tops, the boat nestling in the reeds and white swans, a scene that brings to mind the long languid days of summer. It has been wonderfully warm and sunny here which brings on a fuzzy happy feeling of looking forward to days filled with flowers, birds and butterflies over the months ahead.

Wonderful image!!! Thanks for playing along on Postcard Friendly Friday!
Such a sweet, old timey picture - what fun to be sitting in that boat on a lazy summer afternoon.
It's such a pretty picture! I'm always slightly nervous of swans though.
I think snail mail may become a part of the near past one of these days. I hope we never give up sending postcards and letters that can be touched with one's hands and fingers. There is something so wonderful about actually flipping open a card or turning a beautiful postcard over in one's fingers.
Happy PFF! Have a perfectly marvelous weekend!
More mail! More postcards!
I showed the hurling video to my son and he thought it was fantastic. Those men are amazing athletes.
There's nothing more pleasant than time spent on a lake in a rowboat! Lovely card.
Thats a wonderfully idyllic scene.
I do love the pink tops! I really like seeing your stamps. I will have do that hop soon, Lisa
Sweet,sweet postcard!
