Have you sent us a postcard? Have you been sent a Necklace Park postcard? Would you like to comment on a card you've seen, or sent? Look here to see the cards we've received, and here for further blogposts on the topic.

The Necklace Park Postcard Project is part of the Twinned Cities strand, where people from other places tell us something about where they live, especially if it has something to do with outdoor activities (fishing! dens! skateboards!), water, bridges, trees, wildlife, livestock (cows! pigeons! critters!), old buildings (churches! ruins!), towns and countryside. That covers just about everywhere, me thinks.

We want your postcards and descriptions of where you live, the kinds of things you enjoy doing outdoors, your favourite building or tree, things you like doing on or in the water, what you do in the countryside or town. We also like fanciful stories, so if you know one about the cow that slept in the church, or the magical talking broccoli that lives under a tree by day and runs a jazz club in the vennels at night, please do tell!

Send us a card, and we'll put it on display. Visitors can leave comments here, so you may find a new postcard pal in addition to having your card seen and appreciated by people in Durham! You can send us a card directly, or via PostCrossing, the world-famous postcard-sharing website.

We will scan some of the cards and post them online for you to see. We will also organise a display or album for visitors to look at and leave comments. We will post some of the comments online with the scanned images.

To send us a card, address it to Durham Necklace Park Postcard Project, c/o Durham County Council, County Hall, Durham, DH1 5UQ United Kingdom. You may put it to my attention, but it should arrive if the above address is entered in full. If it's been more than 3 weeks since you sent a card, leave us a note here and we'll try to track it. (Or sign up and leave a comment below.) If you have a PostCrossing postcard ID for any card you've sent, please tell us the number to make it easier for us to locate and register.
