Mielno (German: Großmöllen or Groß Möllen) is a town in northwestern Poland located on the Baltic Sea and Jamno Lake, on the Slowinski Coast. The city, with two summer seaside resorts and a fishing harbor, is one of the many resort complexes of the Polish coast. A postcard from the late 1980s.

Val:

Thank you for the welcome!  I have many questions. Pardon my ignorance.

  • When I send you boring postcards, do they need to be unused? 
  • Can I mail several to you in an envelope, since it costs just as much to mail a letter with enclosures.
  • One person’s idea of boring is another person’s idea of humor. I LIKE the man prepping the fox hide, and the man and pig looking for truffles. 🤭
