Nice little servicestation ER box for #PostBoxSaturday I like these so much better than the plastic ones! @lbsg.org @letterappsoc.bsky.social

Completely failed to post this yesterday for #PostboxSaturday but I was excited to see a new Charles III parcel box AND a Charles III post van in #Wakefield this week. The solar powered parcel box dwarfs the more traditional Elizabeth II double postbox next door. @lbsg.org @letterappsoc.bsky.social

Large modern rectangular red postbox designed to drop off parcels on a city street. It has a large silver drawer that opens outwards and a Charles III cypher on the front. It has solar panels on the top. It is standing next to an older double red postbox with a Queen Elizabeth II cypher which looks very small in comparison. There is a post van parked behind.

Red postal van with a Charles III cypher on the door, parked in a carpark. There are trees in the background.

Nice to see the Caledonian Isles and the old Isle of Arran ferries together in Brodick earlier this week. I know she's an old lass now, but I really like sailing on the Isle of Arran. Brings back lots of memories. #Arran #Brodick #Ferries

Two ferries - Caledonian Isles and the Isle of Arran berthed next to each other in Brodick Harbour. The Caledonian Isles is the larger of the two. There are summer flowers growing through rocks on the harbour wall in the foreground.

Red post box cemented into a red brick wall. The box has an Elizabeth II insignia. The wall fills the image. There is a street sign above the postbox that says Princess Street. There is a silver metal post to the left.
