It set me off thinking this afternoon. Do you reckon that the folk who recieved letters all those years ago felt as excited as I did today? Do you think that their way of communicating was as wonderful to them as our internet is to us?

My daughter, who lives in Cornwall, sent these pics of her cat's new babies to me in Tenerife, minutes after their birth.

Tiggy had four but the tabby looks like a tinker to me!

In the days before telephones then yes I suppose they would. A way to catch up on the goss the same way we do via the internet.

Letters from home were always eagerly anticipated when I was in the Navy. Of course letters from girl friend was always the most welcome. There was always some acronym on the back (SWALK – HOLLAND – ITALY are just three that I can publish on here) and usually a kiss in lipstick and the letter had a hint of the girl’s perfume.

An email just isn’t the same.
