Last week was quite an adventure. I'll post something up over the next couple of days. Still trying to digest it all.<br /><br />Pete - have a look at the British Postal Museum & Archive's catalogue online. You'll love it.<br /><br />Liza - you're so kind and your encouragement meant a lot last week. There's going to be a podcast of the talk last thursday. will let you know when it's ready.<br /><br />Beth - PFF is always a source of smiles! Thank you!<br /><br />Debs - you'd have loved the store room I went into at the Museum to borrow the postbox. Full of them! Including a green one, which was apparently their original colour....<br /><br />Joy - I am never leaving home without one.<br /><br />Snap - hee hee!!<br /><br />Hazel - and the same to you!<br /><br />MuseSwings - it felt like something out of a movie, especially when the taxi driver turned out to be an ex-postman and had some great tales to tell about reading postcards whilst on his delivery rounds. The sequel "Returning the Postbox to the Museum" is on Tuesday. Phew.<br /><br />MrCachet - Sir, let's do it.<br /><br />Heather - it was great fun. And yes, get tilting!<br /><br />Dakotaboo - always great to hear from you, thanks and hope you are well.Postcardesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03753806814377727134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521099191898009961.post-46544339643343495852011-05-29T01:04:27.426-07:002011-05-29T01:04:27.426-07:00Great post - hope the talk went well.Great post - hope the talk went well.dakotaboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804592205708387211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521099191898009961.post-64189494533858644852011-05-28T13:57:49.528-07:002011-05-28T13:57:49.528-07:00Tilting of stamp, that's a new one on me.

Why don't they make them like that any more?<br /><br />There's a set of traffic lights in Manchester close to the science and industry museum, that some street artist has decorated with crochet (I think it's called 'yarn bombing') and it always makes me wonder why the everyday objects like phone boxes and post boxes aren't made the way they were many years ago.Pete Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14658063712605108468noreply@blogger.com
