Come Hail Or Rain Or Sleet Or Snow...

Yes it's true what they say, Come hail or rain or sleet or snow the Postie always gets through.

Here I am shivering at the thought that soon I have to brave the rather thick blanket of snow that surrounds us today, I wasn't looking forward to going out and fighting against the storm, in fact I was making every excuse to myself not to go out today.

Then I heard the rattle of my letter-box and the familiar sound that envelopes make when they fall onto the floor.

This gave me inspiration, if the post-person, (yes I can be P.C.), can fight this storm then so can I.
I have put on my heavy boots Arctic top coat and made my way to the door to step outside and brave the elements.
I hesitated only for a moment just to see what my hero of today had brought me, I then took off my coat threw my boots into a corner and put the kettle on, it can wait until tomorrow I cried hysterically!

What had he/she battled the elements for to thrust through my door?

An unasked for, catalogue of sun blinds with a letter saying how much cheaper they would be if I was to purchase them now while it is out of season.

Well Mr. Postman, it might only be a cup of coffee but I raise it high and say, "well done, the days go by hardly anyone notices you as you pass, but today I for one recognise how brave you are".
