So many lovely postcards still arriving for the #PostcardDrop2025. Thank you so much! Honestly, whichever season, send postcards to your friends and family. They are always so uplifting. (And of course only Oasis would make one that looks like a cigarette packet!) 🤩💌🎸🤘👀
Please know that there are people in the world who send postcards to others just for the pure loveliness of it. Here’s the recent wonderful haul for the Big Summer Holiday #PostcardDrop2025! 426 so far and still counting! It’s very much appreciated, thank you! ☺️💭✉️❤️
Great to hear @thejeremyvine.bsky.social talking about postcard sending on BBC Radio 2 earlier today. Shall we send him a few as a little thanks before #WorldPostcardDay? #PostcardDrop2025 #PostcardTuesday #WishYouWereHereJames 😄📻📮🎉
A huge thank you, lovely postcard senders! We’ve received 404 wonderful postcards so far for The Big Summer Holiday #PostcardDrop2025! Shall we eke out the summer and carry on until #WorldPostcardDay? (See table on the website homepage for postcard stats) 🥳🪂✉️🎉
Huge thanks to BBC Radio Cornwall for this morning. Local radio is a joy to listen to with the perfect mix of world news, fab tunes, and interesting articles from around the County and beyond. (The photos might only make sense to this morning’s listeners!) #PostcardDrop2025 🥰📻📮🫖
Thank you so much for getting onboard The Big Summer Holiday #PostcardDrop2025 and showing everyone the loveliness of postcards and why they still matter. Still a few days to go of the summer if you wanted to send one too. 374 in total so far! 😎💌☀️
Have a cracking #PostboxSaturday, everyone! Whether you’re home or away this #BankHolidayWeekend, why not pop a postcard in a postbox for our #PostcardDrop2025 or BBC Radio Cornwall’s #WishYouWereHereJames, or both. (Don’t let your postal service end up like Denmark’s) 🥰📮🐶🧀👍
Wahey! With today’s arrivals for The Big Summer Holiday #PostcardDrop2025 it makes the total so far a staggering 308 postcards! Plus an outgoing #XtremeDeltiology on Swanage Beach! What a day for postcard news! Great job, everyone! #PostcardTuesday 🤩📮🎉
Please send postcards if you can.
Can't believe I didn't know about this before our holidays.

I sent postcards to family from Dublin last week and the friend I was with thought I was mad.
July Corfu ones yet to arrive but there's still time!
I send them from any where I go.
Didn't know about your #PostcardDrop2025 sorry.
Thank you so much to everyone who has got onboard The Big Summer Holiday #PostcardDrop2025! It’s wonderful to know postcards still matter. Also intrigued by the special location frank-marks and the need for an additional “envelope” in some cases. Total so far = 294! ☺️💌🎉
Loving how August has become an unofficial postcard fest! More have arrived for #PostcardDrop2025, Rebecca Leek at Suffolk Sound Radio has started #PostcardTuesday, The Postal Museum has joined forces with @postcrossing.com, and fingers crossed BBC Breakfast have a postcard feature next Tuesday! 🥳💌📺
Would anyone like to share their thoughts regarding any of the following questions? I’ve been asked to answer them as part of an exciting piece on postcards. I’ve got some ideas but I’d love to know what others think too… Thanks everso! #PostcardDrop2025 😁✉️💭👍
More wonderful postcards for the Big Summer Holiday #PostcardDrop2025 including one from the lovely #AxelScheffler. Some exciting plans in the pipeline for #ChristmasCardDay if we can make it work! In the meantime enjoy the days of summer and postcard sending while we can! 😎💌🌻
I so hope someone finds all these amazing postcards a long time in the future… (Also no idea what the shorthand says, haha! Hope it’s not rude!) #PostcardDrop2025 🥰😂💌
28 lovely postcards in celebration of lovely postcards have arrived at the Society Headquarters in recent days taking the #PostcardDrop2025 total (so far) to an amazing 257! Still time to take part if you would like to… 😍📮🪂💌 thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/the-big-summ...
Almost forgot this lovely bundle! The ones that came just before we left for Cornwall including 7 from Kaz (Member No. 1412). Thank you so much for being such wonderful (and a little bit bonkers) postcard/letter writers! You’re the best! #PostcardDrop2025 🥰📮🎉
“If you’re looking for postcards, you came to the right place!” Well uh-huh what a lot of fabulous uh-huh postcards we found on the doormat when we got home from our uh-huh holiday including ones from lots of new uh-huh countries! No returning to sender here! #PostcardDrop2025 💌
