Writing letters

I haven't written a letter to anyone in a long, long time though I do still send cards, etc. Even so, I don't see any harm in giving it a try. Why not start with one or two brief letters and see if you get any replies? Or if they mention them when they see or talk to you? Have fun!

PRINTMISS, I'm new here, so I don't know your story. However, since it appears your DS was ill or something, I'm glad to hear he's doing better now.

Chelseababy, that's sounds lovely!

Yes the Silverline idea sounds lovely - I'll try contacting them.

Most like to receive a letter. A year ago, I wrote to my 25 year old grandaughter, who moved away to be with her schoolteacher/husband. She had just had a babe, and we wrote, a bit of a wordy one, telling of our first babe. I was thrilled, but appalled, when she phoned to say that it was the first ever letter she had. And it was now under her pillow, where she returned to it again, and again, or when she felt 'lonely'. So it is a shame, that we are reduced to a scribbled greeting card, or text. I have written quite a few this year, mostly 'cheating' by selecting a nice script, and sending, printed from my Abiword. But I always handwrite a page, because my own script was getting out of practice.

I'm another postcard sender! I often send my two DGC who live here in the UK postcards and I also use Touchnote to send postcards to my DGC in Canada. You create the card online with your own photos, write a message for them and put their address on it. Then it's printed and posted for a fraction of the cost of posting it abroad
