I love getting letters! And I
enjoy writing letters too. Letters aren't just about the words we write,
they're something of the essence of the person, something which they've taken
trouble over. Our handwriting is highly individual and to see a friend's
offering on the mat is one of the great pleasures of life.
I’ve just written to a dear friend
of mine, Doreen. Doreen and I have been
friends for around forty years. She even
reads this blog so now she knows there’s a treat in the post for her. I’m staying away from people for the moment while
this wretched virus is around. Maybe you
are doing the same. It can get a bit
lonely though. I’m glad of phone calls
and e mails but letters will be a great help.
So I’ve been wondering if the idea
of exchanging letters appeals to you, Dear Reader. If so, I’m happy to facilitate a swap. If you want to join
in put a comment below letting me know if you want a swap in your own country
or whether you’re happy to send your letter overseas. I will need your e mail address so I can let
you know who your exchange is. My own e
mail address is on my profile page if you'd prefer to use that.
I’ll keep the swap open until 27th
March (that’s two weeks today) and won’t organise the exchanges until then.
Update I will acknowledge all e mails that I receive.

DeleteI've got visions of you all sneaking out under cover of darkness to the Post Box then scurrying back home before you are discovered!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm staying away from people too, have been for a while. My Tesco deliveries have enabled me to avoid supermarkets, but now I find it more difficult to book a delivery slot as people panic and flock for home deliveries. I have 2 deliveries booked - on the 20th and 31st March - but goodness knows how much of my order will be delivered.
I love the idea!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this
