To inspire people to write handwritten letters to each other. #PostboxSaturday
Pinned
Let’s make 2026 the year of the letter. Feel inspired, send a letter. Feel grateful, send a letter. Feel hope, send a letter. Feel lost or numb, send a letter. Be it to a friend, loved one, actor, author, MP, business leader, whoever you want. Just know, letters still matter. ✉️
Always lovely when friends pop by the Letter Writing Shed for a little drinky-poo… Happy Saturday, everyone! 😄🍻💌👍

If you’re feeling a bit Eeyore or like your days are all a muddle (it should say WED), send a letter and cheer two people up in one go (that’s you and the recipient). It works, I promise. #YearOfTheLetter 🫏✉️✨☺️

Promise to visit me in The Tower, yes? It’s not to The King if that helps, and it’s only because I still need distracting from those ugly barcodes… #NoToCodes #YearOfTheLetter 😂😬🏰📮🤖👍

When was the last time you sent a letter by snail mail, and was it handwritten?

And if your handwriting is as rusty as mine, here’s a page from my copy of The Universal Penman by writing master and engraver George Bickham the Elder (1684–1758), a writing guide with a multitude of styles.

It’s the first #PostboxSaturday since we took all the decorations down so here are the 57 (of 165!) that had a postbox on including the knitted one now on the blanket my late Gran and I made for up in the Letter Writing Shed. Huge thanks for all the #ChristmasCardDay love! 🥰📮🎄

Letters. For building bridges, not walls. (Although I do like a nice brick wall too, if I’m honest) 😄🌉🧱💌

🎶So I say thank you for the thank yous, the post you’re sending
Thanks for all the joy unending
Who can live without them? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a card or a note, what are we?
So I say thank you for the thank yous, so lovely, honestly… #ABBA 😁✉️❤️

A quiet read of a long letter from an old friend you haven’t seen for several years is a beautiful thing. I wish you all the same. 💌

The first Monday in January can always feel a bit lacking until you remember all the posties out and about on their rounds again delivering lovely letters with the possibility of one arriving at your door. (And if one doesn’t, send one instead to help keep the hope alive) ☺️✉️✨

Nice Scottish pillar box for the first #PostboxSaturday of 2026. Ferry terminal in Brodick #IsleOfArran Don't know the date, as no royal cypher, but the casting says it was made by Machan Engineering Scotland. Nice little 'next collection' casting detail too @lbsg.org @letterappsoc.bsky.social
