In our modern age of emails and text messages I think that the good old letter is more important than ever. Taking time to think and reflect on an event or the kindness someone has shown you is important.
The art of crafting a letter, editing your attempt, creating paragraphs that hold an argument or a particular point and practising spelling are all skills that we can all benefit from.
And, that’s before you start on the joy of the red van coming down your drive and delivering a stamped letter addressed to you. Ripping open the envelope to discover the treat inside is so special and, for me, means so much more than a quick text.
The resurgence of letters is something we could all benefit from and if they are written on environmentally friendly stationary, so much the better!
