I FEEL I must write to say how wonderful our postal service is. I can post a letter midday on a Thursday and it reaches my friend on the Isle of Wight on Friday morning.

This is quite a feat, but a letter from my granddaughter in New Zealand really was a miracle, she had put my name and 2 Mossy Terrace, Stillington, then couldn't remember the rest so left it to finish later.

Her mother saw the letter and posted it, not noticing that it was incompletely addressed. My granddaughter was very upset and told her mother that it took ages to write and that I wouldn't receive it, but I did! Well done postal service staff and thank you.

Mrs B Kennedy,

Mossy Terrace,

Stillington, Easingwold.
