Snail Mail

The first thing I do most mornings is to check my email - reply, act upon, or delete them and then get on with my day.

I still believe, however, that nothing can beat good old snail mail.  I had a penpal throughout my childhood and loved nothing more than receiving a letter in the post.

Today I have another penpal in America and I regularly write to friends and family to keep in touch.  Sometimes, I think I do end up repeating myself as I don't always remember what went into the last letter but it's still a great way to keep in touch and learn new things.

It's also always nice to see a lovely handwritten envelope in the box rather than the usual printed bank notices and official letters.
