Christmas Postcard Exchange

Post by **merry** » Wed Feb 01, 2023 11:07 pm

I've never seen such difficulties with mail before - hopefully all of our respective postal services will get things ironed out for next year!

It's really strange, isn't it, Impy! Honestly, I expect that if I post something it GETS THERE however long it takes and where'est it goes. And that just hasn't happened this time! and it's so random! Tom got mine in 3 weeks, Mim 5 weeks, Fossy and Impy never got it at all.

Just got Fossy's card/postcard today! They are so lovely, it was such a happy feeling to open my mailbox and see those Latvian stamps and a glimpse of your home town, and of course your kind message!

What a relief. I'm so happy that you got it.

Glad you liked them and message too, Impy. Wonderful!

I received Impy's postcard!!!

Thank you SO much, it is lovely!!! I have two shelves full of postcards from all my lovely millers now and I look at them every day! This has been such fun!

I'm going to get Autumn's card written and sent this week and if anyone else wants one, just let me know.

You're so lucky, Tom, 'cuz I still waiting from Merry her second postcard and also from Autumn.

But I think that with Merry's postcard again will be the same what with first, 'cuz I'm waiting it already a week and still nothing, but I'll looking during this week after it and if still will be nothing, then, unfortunately, it will be gone again and I think that this time it will Latvian Post office fault not British post!

And me most hurting that that almost all Millers (except Impy) got Merry's postcards, but not me. It's really painful!

I've re-sent to Fossy and to Impy. Cross everything they make the long perilous journey this time

If anyone else wants a card from me just send me your address in PM

I've bought a pack of Cotswold cards for sending out to my Miller friends and have TEN left just looking for a home!

Guess what showed up today a full 2 months after mailing - Merry's original postcard!

So Fossy and Pippa, don't lose all hope - maybe yours got temporarily stuck somewhere along the way like mine did and there's still a chance.

Merry, that is the loveliest scene - I can just picture our John and Margaret on that street! Thank you so much for sending these!

OMG, Impy, how wonderful.

True, I also think that maybe there's a chance to get it (I mean Merry's original first postcard) and maybe second too.

Although Merry resend me a third time postcard, so it'll be so fun if I really will get all three her postcards.

But I would love it if it will happen!
