There’s no place like home!
Well this is often true, but if you’re stuck there because some daft individual whacked you up your rear end, resulting in whiplash and a lengthy time away from the job you love, home isn’t such a great place!
This is precisely what happened to my good friend Lucy early in 2015.
To cheer her up and hopefully speed her recovery I enlisted the help of my other good friend Morris Mouse, who’d recently set out on a travelling adventure. Being a keen artist and writer Morris was only too happy to oblige when I suggested to him the idea of sending the odd postcard or letter to Lucy whilst on his travels.
This blog is an account of the postal adventures of Morris Mouse, we hope you enjoy it as much we do!
Lynn, Lucy and Morris

I’m very happy to make your acquaintance, Morris and look forward to learning about your adventures.
Thank you Kelli, it’s very nice to meet you too. Hope you enjoy my adventures! I’m a very good mouse but beware of my mates, they can be a bit cheeky. 🐭❤️
I just love an adventure!!
Hi Marilyn,
Before setting out I didn’t actually realise how much fun adventures could be. M.M.
Love the postcards. Would love to share your adventure with PostCrossing.com
I like mice because their friends with faeries,Do you ever have adventures with them?
Hi Sonya,
What a great idea, posting cards to fellow humans all around the world. I’ve just had a quick look at your blog over my morning cup of hazelnut coffee, I will definitely take some time to go back and read some of the interesting articles that have caught my mouse eye. Feel free to share my adventures on your blog. M.M.
Hi Jan, I do know a few Faeries. They are really naughty you know, always wanting lifts everywhere. Us mice and rabbits can’t go anywhere in the woods without being asked for a lift. xx M.M.
Thank you for sharing with postcrossing!! i love reading your adventures and seeing the wonderful illustrations.
Thank you for the complements Jerrella, it was really nice of Postcrossing to share my work. If you want to keep up with my postcards and letters you can sign up for email alerts on the blog CONTACT page. Much love MORRIS MOUSE 🐭
Hello Morris,
Happy greetings from the Netherlands!
Thanks to Postcrossing I discovered your wonderful Postal Adventures today.
It’s such a lovely idea and I’m sure you’re making Lucy very happy.
I also love to draw on my postcards but your illustrations are just wonderful. You inspire me! (^_^)
I’ve already signed up for email alerts to follow your Blog and I can’t wait to read about your next adventure.
Enjoy your journey.
Hi Barbara,
Proper chuffed that you are inspired by my little sketches. The lovely people at Postcrossing have sent lots of new friends to my blog and for that I am truly grateful. Would be most interested to see one of your postcard sketches, feel free to visit my Facebook page and maybe share your doodles with me there. Kindest Regards, MORRIS MOUSE.
Thank you for your reply.
I’m not always confident in my computer skills so I don’t do anything with Facebook. But you can see some of my work and doodles via my profile on Postcrossing (there are two different links). I hope you like it.
As you may have noticed I tried to comment a second time because I thought I wasn’t succesful the first time. Is it possible to delete that one, because it looks so silly… (-_-;)
Best wishes, Barbara.
I’ll see if I can get that sorted Barbara, my blog has an ‘approve’ button so posts don’t show up until I approve them and I make sure it’s not any cats leaving rude messages!
I’ll try and find your profile of Postcrossing, but I’m not a member so hopefully I’ll be able to see it.

WOW Barbara – I’ve just looked on your deviant art profile. Your work is fantastic, fabulous draughtsmanship x
Oh my, thank you so much.
Your comment makes me happy and very shy.
I hope that most of the cats can behave themselves and just purr looking at your wonderful work. (=^.^=)
