I really like these letters. I do have a number of people that I am fond of, who have moved away, and I like to know how they are doing - I may not be greatly involved in their lives, but enjoy the news.
Because they are people I like, they aren't these 'boastful' missives - we only ever had one like that - from an old colleague of DH's and we dropped them.
I was quite sad when a few friends thought, because of attitudes like these, that they shouldn't send 'round robins' and scribbled something hastily instead. I was glad when they go re-instated and I could read them nicely and clearly.
Seems like I'm in a minority, but I have been greatly blessed to be a small part of these people's lives and love getting the news.
