Dad's postcard posted, will probably be home before it. Need stock up on some more as very few places sell them now and I always send Dad a postcard when I'm away. I didn't have far walk, I'm staying in the apartments behind the post box!

Letโs hope the postcard with the money arrived otherwise double forgiveness is going to be needed. Moral of the story, carry some cash on you for postcards at all times.

Happy Birthday ๐๐๐ฅ - and many happy returns. Writing letters (and receiving letters) is one of the joys of life. That joy has lasted for 4 generations in my family ... and I am hopeful my children will carry on. So far, so good (despite the temptations of emails and text messages).

How to explain why we all need to write letters? Many do already but if not, the joy of handwritten correspondence from someone real, somewhere different, with life experiences and knowledge new to us, is something everyone should experience. Be brave. Write to a friend today. โ๏ธ

Postcards are so great for sending a random thought, a favorite memory, a compliment, a thank you, or whatever else strikes your fancy and are the perfect choice when you need to not feel pressured to write more than a few sentences. ๐ฌ๐๐

Always know that letter writing opens the door to lovely people and places and experiences. For example, weโve got to know Axel Scheffler (of Gruffalo fame) due to it, who is helping spread the word for handwritten letters and the Society. Exciting project info enclosed! ๐คฉ๐๐๐ค

It is a bit of an effort trying to catch the 9am collection, but as Winston Churchill said โContinuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.โ Also, itโs worth the effort for the postie to find letters in a potentially empty postbox. โบ๏ธ๐ฎ๐๐
