Loving #PostboxSaturday definitely doesn’t make you a donkey. It makes you someone who values these beautiful postal portals that do the donkey work of carrying our precious inky (pinky ponky?) letters backwards and forwards over donkey’s years! 😁📮🫏❤️

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

Small red postbox on a wide black pole. It has a curved top with 'Royal Mail' embossed into the metal work directly below and an ER royal cypher at the bottom, below the collection times information.

Just a little postbox/outgoing post photo frenzy, the long-awaited flowering sunflower by the Letter Writing Shed, and a funny stamper found whilst sorting a box of letters from 2022. Wishing you all the urge to leave a nice letter lying in wait for your local postie. 😄📮🌻👍

This to me is like Cinderella’s magical carriage, only for letters and postcards and parcels. To stop it turning into a pumpkin, fill it with beautiful post to keep it delivering. Send a letter today whether to family, a friend or your own Prince Charming! #PostVanMonday 🤩🚚✉️✨

Try not to think of the price of stamps as criminal. Try to think for 91p a little piece of you in pen and paper format can travel the length and breadth of the country to bring untold joy to an unsuspecting recipient. It’s just down to how it’s presented really. ☺️🐧✉️👍

@letterappsoc.bsky.social I like my champagne Basildon Bond, but each time I hear 'written on paper of every hue' in Night Mail it makes me crave coloured notepaper. Can you recommend any good sources of coloured, fountain-pen friendly sheets/pads, with matching envelopes, please?
