Five-a-day? Itโs a good startโฆ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Happy #PostboxSaturday, folks! A big thanks to all the friends and loved ones who still capture postbox photos for that special postbox someone. Youโre the best! (Husband, in this case) ๐ฅฐ๐ฎ๐ธโจ
Weโre always writing to suggest this. Please write to them as well (itโs a FREEPOST address).
As in getting protection notices. ๐
Youโd hope so. ๐ฎ๐
Yes, that is pretty much the face I pull every time I encounter one of these Frankenstein postboxesโฆ #PostboxSaturday ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ

A beautiful find here for today's #PostboxSaturday in the lovely #Newbiggin-on-the-sea #Northumberland @letterappsoc.bsky.social #letters
My sister found this interesting box today #postboxSaturday @lbsg.org @letterappsoc.bsky.social
I do indeed. I'm a proud member of @letterappsoc.bsky.social .
Aw, thanks, Alan. โบ๏ธ๐ฎโค๏ธ
Loathed to โlikeโ that as very sad, but we do always try to discourage giving precise locations for these little beauties and if anyone is inclined to buy one just check its provenance if you can. ๐๐
Hand holding several postcards in front of a red Malaysian postbox with two mail slots and postage-rate labels.
Two red Malaysian postboxes side by side on a sunny sidewalk, with a bank sign in the background.
Row of postboxes outside a building: four red Malaysian postboxes in different shapes and one yellow postbox in the middle.

Aaron recently visited Malaysia and came back with a whole collection of postbox sightings for #PostboxSaturday, from classic red Pos Malaysia boxes to a lineup with a surprise yellow one in the middle! ๐ Naturally, they all had to be fed some postcards!
Off to post this postcard in one of those postboxes-that-must-not-be-named this #PostboxSaturdayโฆ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ค๐งโโ๏ธ
Thanks so much for all the words of encouragement & offers of support this week. Genuinely, the loveliest way to help, if you are or know a letter writer, is to join or gift membership. All money goes to helping spread the word for real letters.๐ thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/join-here
Well, this is the loveliest pop-up card I ever did seeโฆ (thanks so much, Annie!) ๐คฉ๐ฎโค๏ธ
Ah, I do! โบ๏ธโ๏ธ
@letterappsoc.bsky.social I thought you would like this.
It would appear that with falling letter volumes one has to pay a premium for encouraging people to buy stamps to send letters to a single address. I may have misunderstood. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
With sadness, as of May Iโll probably have to let go of our Royal Mail PO Box. Our small not-for-profit Society just canโt afford these rates. However, I have great confidence the slimmed down address will still work, and we can keep aiming to #PromoteLettersโฆ โบ๏ธโ๏ธ๐
Happy #PostboxSaturday, everyone! Thank you so much to the clever knitters who always make us search out this postbox and who influence my Saturday sock choice. Wishing you all beautiful postboxes and real grass this weekend! ๐๐ฎ๐งฆ๐ฑ๐
Happy #PostboxSaturday from the Victorian pillar box outside Greenwich Railway Station, which opened during this week in 1840 making it one of the oldest surviving station buildings in the world! ๐๐

Nothing nicer than knowing these are heading out on a journey across land and sea this evening. Thanks everso to everyone who joins the Society and to all the posties in the chain connecting writers to recipients. ๐๐ฎโจ
Fabulous! What would be the postieโs drink of choice? ๐๐ฎ๐ป
Happy #PubSignThursday #Hertfordshire #Herts #Royston The Jolly Postie, Baldock Street, Royston, Hertfordshire.
I refuse to use my fancy letter-opener on this sort of postโฆ (also a reminder why sending people lovely letters is so important) Happy Friday, folks! ๐ฌโ๏ธ๐
