I also think it is a pity that people no longer write letters @honeychum. All the modern social history is just being lost.
When I was travelling, in the days before the internet, one of the most exciting things was turning up in a new country and going straight to the Post Office to collect my letters. It was so much more fun that checking emails or texts.
And it was so exciting to get a surprise letter on the door mat. Now it's just birthday or Christmas cards and even some of those arrive electronically.
This is something from the past that I think is very sad to have been lost! 😢
I agree with you, buddy. Those letters, not only had words but they carried emotions. Sometimes, in emotional letters, u could see marks of tears. As many times we read those letters we would dive into the stream of emotions. Those were the times but long gone :( @gillianpearce
