According to postcrossing site this card took 46 days to reach me but actually it was sent on October 26th or 16th - the stamp is not very clear, so it travelled not this long.
Anyway, it's an interesting story about this card: In 1914 a canadian Lt. Harry Colebourn purchased this bear. She was named Winnie after his hometown Winnipeg, Manitoba. Then the bear was moved to the London Zoo and her name was changed to Winnie the Pooh. A.A. Milne based his stories on this bear.
I had no idea about this story. Thank you Meg for the card!

Card with books from Lviv, Ukraine. It was written in ukrainian. I understand the language perfectly fine but to speak and to write it is another story. I was raised in eastern Ukraine where we studied ukranian in school but everyone was speaking russian, writing russian. So what left from my Ukranian is enough just for understanding.
Thank you Julia for the card!
