Postcards to Gran.

I began this postcard series to my grandmothers

from Derby to Dallwallinu and Castledare Nursing Home

The postcards? Recycled relics courtesy of the digital age.

Regular missives conveying fleeting moments from my day to day.

Gran put them on proud display

except the Bourgeois-inspired ones tucked in a drawer.

Nan send me a stencilled butterfly card she made in reply

glitter-sand sprinkles from a CWA senior citizens workshop.

In mint condition

they found their way back to me

when they passed

(bar one postage stamp snipped from the corner of a Rottnest memory)
