The largest collection of post boxes outside of a museum at the @lbsg.org AGM today #postboxsaturday @letterappsoc.bsky.social
Happy #PostboxSaturday from this Victorian pillar box at the western end of the Grade II listed Georgian crescent Gloucester Circus, Greenwich. 💌

They seem such a small part of the landscape, but they have such a big impact in keeping us connected with letters we post in them and the posties that go to every house in the country delivering them. A humble but mighty sign of the power of a postal service. #PostboxSaturday 📮
One of these membership packs was heading to the Isle of Wight this afternoon so I said if the view had cleared when I went to post them I’d give them a wave. 😄👋✉️
Postbox: I see your big planter headdress and raise you a #FingerpostFriday one… 😆📮🪴👉👍
Nearly forgot it is #PostboxSaturday @lbsg.org @letterappsoc.bsky.social
Only really wanted to order 250 more Society postcards, but it was cheaper in the end to buy 1,000… Anyway, if anyone would like some (would 5 be a good number?) just send a SAE to THLAS, PO Box 9347, BH19 9BG and I can send you some. 😄✉️👍
Save the date for this year’s #ChristmasCardDay! Send everyone you know some cheery good news for the Christmas season and let’s fill our beautiful postboxes with Christmas cards on Wednesday 9th December! 🥳🎄⛪️👼💌
When you find a Postman Pat annual in the secondhand bookshop of a stately home, it’s always nice to share… 😁🏛️📘❤️
Wishing you all a Terrific, Happy and United #PostboxSaturday from the four corners of the Kingdom and beyond! Please see that our postboxes are fed a little letter or two occasionally as well… 😄📮🇬🇧👀
A little teaser too… Axel Scheffler is a fantastic champion of letters and postcards, as well as The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society, and how I’m not going to let the cat out of the bag by next year’s #WorldPostcardDay will be anyone’s guess! Save the date! 🤩📮🎉
I often think #WorldPostcardDay is about treating our postboxes to some lovely postcards too… (even more so now some of them have been irreparably damaged by “modifications”) #SaveOurPostboxes 🥹📮💔
Thanks everso for all the incoming #WorldPostcardDay postcards today! Always a good sign when there are elastic bands involved… 🤩❤️

My youngest granddaughter has gone to uni. I sent my first letter last week.
"Thanks SO much for my letter! I loved it as I'm missing everyone. Can't wait for the next one" ❤️
Very Happy to oblige!
I wrote to her sister most weeks for 4 years!
Here’s hoping you’ve all had a wonderful #WorldPostcardDay wherever you are. Thanks so much to the fab posties in our midst. I know you know, but how incredible that you get to collect and deliver all those snippets of people’s lives direct to someone’s hands and heart. ☺️🫶🌏💌
Boiler working, 16 postcards written. One tea, one coffee and one Bailey’s were consumed. (Some of you drink a lot of tea!) Also, missed the post so will post on #WorldPostcardDay itself! 😄✍️✉️☕️🫖🥃
UPDATE
Hot drinks: 1 (it was coffee)
Postcards: 6

#WorldPostcardDay
😄☕️📮🔥👍
Wondering how many cups of tea and postcards I’ll get through by the time the gasman arrives. ETA between 12-6pm. (If someone guesses the right number I’ll send them a postcard!) #WorldPostcardDay 😆🕰️✍️☕️✉️
Send some loved ones some lovely postcards full of love and joy and humour and cheer this #WorldPostcardDay! Use pretty stamps if you can. 🥰✉️🌍🌎🌏👍
Do we think this will:
A) Get to Daniel
B) Get put in the recycling bin
C) A+B
(Here’s hoping for A!)
#WorldPostcardDay 😁📮🤞🇨🇿🎉
