The glistening trail of snail mail

What a lovely surprise!

It was our 30th wedding anniversary and our 4 children collaborated to give us a card signed by all of them!

After a week of concentrated focus here and having used digital technology extensively to collaborate, it's a timely reminder of how satisfying it is to receive a personal communication which took a lot more effort to make.

The stamps on the envelope trace its journey from New Zealand, to Iceland, to Edinburgh and finally to Peebles.

And tomorrow they have arranged for us to go to Stobo Castle for a relaxing afternoon, including a massage. Bliss! and just what we both need...

They are a lovely lot.
