Love how even our beautiful historic iconic postboxes have a sense of respect and reflection about them on important national occasions. Wishing you all a peaceful #PostboxSaturday. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget 😌📮🇬🇧❤️

Delighted the stamper arrived at its destination! Do join us in helping to celebrate Sir Henry Cole and #ChristmasCardDay on 9th December if you can! #EmmaThompson #AxelScheffler #JimsSpectacularChristmas 🤩🐶🎄🏛️💌 thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/lets-make-ch...

I’m gonna chance it. It’s only going inland but I wanted the young’un to experience a proper aerogramme, just the once. Anyone remember them first time round? 😁✈️✉️

Have a lovely evening, folks, whatever you’re up to! #UpTheShed ☺️💌🎆

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! #postcard #handwritten #Anglesey @letterappsoc.bsky.social

Paintings and Poetry from Amarillo would make a lovely mindfulness book. Also I’d forgotten that beautiful poem was on our website… 😌📖✉️🍂 thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/poetry-2

Remember there is a FREEPOST address for Royal Mail if you would like to take part in celebrating #ChristmasCardDay and Sir Henry Cole on 9th December but can’t afford the stamps. Let’s also fill RM HQ with Christmas cheer and wise words about our beloved postal service. 🥰📮👑💌

Dear Friends, Please help us celebrate #ChristmasCardDay, & the brilliant Sir Henry Cole who invented them, by filling your local postboxes with Christmas cards on 9th December. More info via link. Yours in early Christmas cheer, Dinah 🥳🎄📮 thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/lets-make-ch...

Let’s 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. #PostcardTuesday 😌🙏💌

Happy #PostboxSaturday everyone! Last of the Oxford postbox back-catalogue for now, but look what we found on our visit. A ginormous VR wall box and postbox chocolate bars! Very tasty they were too! 😍📮🏛️🍫

This one too! Designed to distract from the ugly old barcode, but actually it’s made me much more excited to buy the definitives again! Hoping Charles will be amused… #ChristmasCardDay 😁👑🎄💌 www.englishstamp.com/art-stamps/t...

Mrs Goggins, Postman Pat and the gang wish you all a #HappyHalloween! Give your loved ones a treat and write a letter or twoooooo! 😁📮🐈‍⬛🎃👻

Jeepers, these are the most #Halloween-y stamps if ever there was… 😱😬🤡🎃

Excited to announce the winners of our Christmas stamper competition! Huge thanks to Emily, Helen, Sally & Meg for taking part. And to #AxelScheffler for his lovely Sir Henry Cole, Inventor of the Christmas Card, one! More info via link… 🥳🎄 thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/the-english-...

Cos, if you do it right, writing thank you letters is never a chore… (In the meantime, thanks everso, you lovely lot) #THLAS8 😌✍️💌

Genuine question, why is reading other people’s letters seen as socially acceptable but eavesdropping is not? (I ponder this a lot) ✉️

You’re already a bit late for a gardening job but there’s a tap at the door by the postie bearing exciting letters and parcels. What do you do? (Thinking the photo probably gives away my answer) 😄🕰️🌱✉️📦❤️

Lots of lovely letters from our birthday get together heading off this afternoon, plus a slice of cake as requested! Fingers crossed it gets there in one piece! #THLAS8 😄🍰💌

An awesome Halloween postbox topper I spotted near my home, a day late for #postboxsaturday Love the googly eyes! #Halloween #postbox #postboxtopper #Bristol @letterappsoc.bsky.social

Thanks so much to everyone who came along to our little get together to celebrate the Society’s 8th Birthday today, as well as wrote letters and cards wherever you were in the world. We had such a lovely time! #THLAS8 🥰✉️🎈

Happy Birthday from the 7 year old Sea Library and half a year old Letters to the Sea initiative! sea-library.com/category/cur... Thank you for the inspiriring work you do. There’s barely anything better than writing or receiving a letter.

Happy Birthday 🎂🎈🥂 - 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).

Here’s hoping our non-barcoded 8th Birthday cake gets a slice of Royal approval… #THLAS8 😄🍰💌👑🎉

It’s our 8th birthday! A huge thanks to everyone who has helped make all the years so special, and for always believing we can keep letter writing alive. As ever, completely bowled over by people’s loveliness. Have a fab day, and if you can, do write a letter to celebrate! 🥳💌🎉

Two very different ER postboxes standing side by side close to Sheffield University. Perfect for #PostboxSaturday @lbsg.org @letterappsoc.bsky.social

It’s always a lovely #PostboxSaturday that includes a nicely painted postbox, a letter to send, AND a letter pram! Hope you all have a wonderful day! ☺️📮✉️👶

Throwback to my favourite Edward VIII pillar box - the less famous of two in Tobermory - this #PostboxSaturday, because tomorrow is The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society’s 8th birthday. 💌 I’m in awe of and grateful for what you’ve created, Dinah @letterappsoc.bsky.social 🎈🥰 #THLAS8

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. ✉️

Can you guess which country we have a new member from? Thanks so much to everyone who joins wherever you are. It means the world! 1957 members in 40 countries! 🥳✉️🇺🇦🌍🎉

The new housing development round the back of Mount Pleasant sorting office, and next to the Post Office Museum... has ventilation pipes shaped like post boxes

Happy #PostboxSaturday from this Victorian pillar box that stands at the bottom of Beauchamp Road, home of the Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Chapel (Capel Cymraeg Clapham), est 1897 to serve the burgeoning Welsh population. 💌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @letterappsoc.bsky.social

I feel like you lot will appreciate this Cardiff postbox...

It’s #WorldPostcardDay! A HUGE thank you to everyone who sent postcards for our #PostcardDrop2025 (and to eldest for helping me display them). A staggering 521 postcards from 31 countries! Just AMAZING! Send a friend a postcard today! 🥳💌🎉

Guess what DAY it is today? 😄💭🎉

Big day for all the postcards tomorrow! Looking forward to laying them all out in a village hall to show you! 513 with a few more back at THLAS HQ… #PostcardDrop2025 🥳✉️🎉

A day late for #PostboxSaturday - but couldn’t walk past this VR in Caerleon without taking a snap.

If this week has left you feeling a bit like this little Gruffalo, why not take a seat and some time out and enjoy beautiful postbox photos from around the world on #PostboxSaturday… 🥰📮🐭🌰

Here’s to all the early-risers who capture atmospheric postbox pictures for their friends and family to share on #PostboxSaturday. Hope you all have a lovely day! ☺️📮🌅☕️❤️

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You’ve only gone and done it, you brilliant people! Exactly 7 cards arrived today taking us to the amazing total of 500 postcards for The Big Summer Holiday (and Early Autumn!) #PostcardDrop2025! An extra country to add to the list too! 🥳🪂✉️🇹🇼🎉

Working on a Christmas stamper to distract the eye from the ugly barcode on our definitive postage stamps… 😂👀🎄👑💌

Happy #PostcardTuesday, folks! These make 493 postcards from 30 countries for the #PostcardDrop2025! Simply amazing! (I will keep counting any that arrive in the coming days, they just need to arrive by Saturday to get in the big display next week) 🤩💌📸👍

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. 📬💌😊

With #WorldPostcardDay just around the corner, would anyone like a postcard from THLAS HQ? Put a favourite emoji or why you like postcards (or both) in the comments by 8pm (UK time) on 24th Sept and I’ll pick two recipients from X, Instagram, Facebook & Bluesky to send to. 🥳✉️🎉

More truly uplifting postcards that have arrived for the #PostcardDrop2025. Only 15 away from the BIG 500! Just wow! 485 and still a few days to go! Thank you so much for all that you’ve sent this summer. Can’t wait to lay them all out to show you! #Superstars 🥳🪂💌

Always know that letter writing opens the door to lovely people and places and experiences. For example, we’ve 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! 🤩🎄💌🤞

I love that my Great Nan used to always call us Duckie. I only wish I still had a letter from her. Write letters, duckies! 🥰🦆💌

It’s been a while since I wrote a letter by candlelight… #BeatrixPotter #MyDearBeatrix ☺️📜🪶🕯️💌

It is a bit of an effort trying to catch the 9am collection, but as Winston Churchill said “Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.” Also, it’s worth the effort for the postie to find letters in a potentially empty postbox. ☺️📮🕘👍
