GB-1433345: Reeth

Hello there! On 13/Sep/2021 I received a postcard from United Kingdom, sent by Helen. It shows a view of Reeth, a village in North Yorkshire, England.

Since this postcard was sent in an envelope, I also have a cover from this country. Unfortunately, the envelope included some candy that ended up melting and staining the envelope and postcard, so this is the result

And here's a closeup of the stamp she used

Cheers!
