Well how about this for serendipity….

When I was at school/college my best friend was a girl called Carol. We used to write letters and letters and letters – the memory of that was one of the things that spurred me on to look for a penpal – hence the last blog entry.

Shortly after making the entry I got a (totally unrelated) message on Facebook from Carol. We re-acquainted ourselves and re-started the correspondence after a mere 27 year gap and it is as if it never stopped – the only difference being that we are now both married with kids.

There is nothing quite like the anticipation of a letter dropping through your letterbox….

Happy New Year to all.

So here is an interesting dilemma and I’d appreciate your advice.

In amongst all of the online stuff we all do, I actually enjoy writing letters (real letters, pen, ink, envelopes, stamps – you get the picture). So I’m asking online how you think I could go about getting an old fashioned pen-pal, one who would like to communicate only by letter. Male or Female, no agenda, letters that I could happily show my wife if she asked etc etc.

Am I bonkers? Is it possible to still do this? Do such people still exist? Do you know anyone, English speaking (writing), anywhere in the world?

Or am I too late………
