Moo REAL wall, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

When I heard that Elena's friend AAA was heading back to Romania and that she has her own cow, I realised that I couldn't possibly let her go without a whole lot of postcards, some blu-tac and the agreement that cows would feature somewhere on my REAL wall on her return.

Armed with a selection of mailart and a camera AAA took the challenge and went into the darkened barn.

From the feedback, it would appear that blu-tac doesn't stick to cows and that using flash photography with bovines in dark barns is definitely not to be recommended.

Thanks to Heebeejeebeeland, Sherri Ayers and Mexico30 for your contributions and thanks to Alindruta the cow for letting us use the barn and being a good sport. Best of luck with your new calves!

your REAL wall - Snow angel in Romania by AAA, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

Elena's best friend AAA recently popped over to see the family in Romania for the Christmas break and volunteered to bring some of your postcards with her to see the place.

Over Christmas it would appear that there was quite a bit of snow and from news reports it seems that this caused a fair bit of trouble in the country.

Luckily though, your postcards were unimpeded and enjoyed a little outing in the snow, where AAA created a snow angel for them to play in.

Most of the cards were from the archives and were handpicked by her when we last met. Mainly it was the mailartists that got to go away on holiday this time around, and a lot of the Twitter ones at that, so appearances from Hardpressed, Lee Ann P, Jennifer Zoellner, Buffalokid, Mexico30, Feltypants, and the Heebeejeebeeland as well as Motoko from Japan and Sherri Ayers from IUOMA.

All cards are now safely back home and recovering from their long trip.
