THREE POSTCARDS FROM JEAN-PHILIPPE GILLIOT. INTERESTING OR BORING? THE PANEL DECIDES....

J-P kindly sent me these Postcards and asked 'Are they Boring?' I put this question to the Executive Members Panel of the Group -- Do Ghi and Mr Boots, and this what they decided....

1. Steps in an old Village, Midi, Provence, France

Mr. Boots: this is very Boring. Don't post it.

Do Ghi: (no comment -- he took one look at it and went to sleep)

2. Street Scene,  St-Guilheim-le-Désert, Languedoc, France

Mr. Boots: OK, that one is Boring

Do Ghi: but don't post it

3;'Quiteness', Provence, France

Mr Boots: this one is interesting. Why is the cat basket open, And why is there a cat on the window-sill?

Do Ghi: no it's not interesting at all. Nor is it Boring. You are obsessed with cats!

Mr Boots: what do you expect? I am a cat!

And so J-P, as there was no agreement as to whether these Postcards are Boring or not, it is with extreme regret that I must tell you that they cannot  be posted here. But do, pkease, send some more for considertaion at the next meeting of the Executive Members Panel

Maków Podhalański - 

The commune is situated in the Beskid Makowski and its southern part includes also a fragment of the Beskid Żywiecki. Particular villages are situated along the Skawa river and its tributaries. The railway line Cracow - Zakopane and the national road Wadowice - Nowy Sącz cross the area of the commune. There was an embroidery school in Maków from the end of the 19th century and the so-called Maków embroidery was and is widely known not only in Poland. Healthy, healing microclimate, whose properties were noticed already at the beginning of the last century. Postcard from 1976, Kolejowa street (Train street).

A WEIRD LOCATION FOR A MUSEUM?

This is  'Le Musée' (altitude 1008m) at le Donon, Bas-Rhin, France. If this is the main path to the Museul, I bet they don't get many visitors and certainly no wheelchair or handicapped ones.

STRANGE BORING POSTCARDS WITH VERY FEW PEOPLE ON THEM
