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

Red VR pillar box, with nicely decorated top, sited on the pavement in front of a low brick wall with iron railings.

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. 📬💌😊

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! 🥰🦆💌

Yes I had heard that and always check the day-tab if there’s one there, but there’s nothing like making a once efficient system all about guesswork!? 😬📮🥹
