For all of the advances in technology – and many of them are to be cherished – we still rely on the printed or written word as the first draft of history. |

I don't like incoming mail in brown envelopes :-( |

I used to write to several penpals and friends across the world, now snail mail doesn't happen very often, in either direction. It's a shame but the internet is better than losing touch altogether I suppose. Don't know where I found the time to write so many letters lol |

I love getting letters via the post and would rather have cards than presents. Luckily belonging to the birthday card group on here (hand made cards) I can be sure of getting quite a few through the letter box, i also get about a regular 8/9 from friends and family. |

I write a letter to an Aunt every week. Usually 4 or 5 A4 pages as she is a widow and loves to hear all my news. Shes does'nt have a computer or do texts. It brightens up her day when the postman comes. By the same token, she writes back to me with all her news etc and i enjoy reading her letters immensely. |

We were very lucky when we had our two big occasions recently, to have in excess of sixty cards. |

There have been legendary writers of love letters too – like Napoleon, whose early passions for his new bride Josephine were mostly confined to print because the Little General was whisked off to war just days after their marriage, when he was ordered to leave and command the French army near Italy. |

I love receiving cards and giving cards not so much letters because I have always disliked writing letters myself but the joy of going into a card shop and picking a nice card for someone close to you or hearing the one drop on the mat for you |

I do love receiving and sending cards and rarely throw any away. I have all the Christmas cards received since my son was little so that's 33 yrs worth, and all my birthday cards etc O.h's son was surprised he keeps his cards, his son throws all his away so presumably the children's ones too When my Mum died I found some cards from when I was small, still have them |

I received some lovely cards for my birthday yesterday, missed my handmade one from Dutch (we shared the same date). It's nice to re-read them and they look lovely on the mantlepiece etc 12 this year and messages on fb but like Scozz the internet messages can't be kept in the same way. |
