I write letters often. To friends for birthdays, to an aunt in a care home, and they are always much appreciated. I use a sheet of A4 paper now, as writing pads are no more.

Times have changed we don’t write letters any more so there is no need for stationery in shops in fact we barely have shops any more I write notes with pages torn out of an old note book or exercise book but I haven’t written a letter for years and years Royal Mail would probably lose it if I did
I don’t think I miss it to be honest
I m sure you ll get some online

I wrote a letter last week and used up the final sheet of a 5 or more year old pad of writing paper. I thought I would buy a new pad yesterday. Plenty of envelopes in both
Tesco and Waitrose but no writing paper.

Gone are the days of a stationery set for birthday or christmas. And I havent seen Basildon Bond or the deckle edge paper...what was the brand name of that....for years.

I shall look in our local card shop tomorrow and then resort to a search on line.

I wish I had treasured those gifts in the past along with a box of embroidered hankies and a proper pen and bottle of Quink. I shall go back to sleep now and dream of writing letters.
