Yesterday I wrote number 39, to Darcy on here. It won’t be collected from the postbox until tomorrow.
Of course I will continue writing back to everyone! Have a few waiting for replies. As ever, it’s “March On!”

So far, mostly letters to new/different people. A couple of birthday cards and a Valentine.1 condolence message – wonder really whether to count that, as sensitive and serious.
