It’s our 9th birthday on Monday 26th October. We haven’t made any big plans to celebrate this year, but if you’re near a sandy beach this half-term do write our name in the sand. Sending a letter or postcard to a loved one would be a lovely way to help us celebrate too. 🥳🏖️✉️🎉
Not sure if this is the postbox on the stamp after all, but the Beatrix Potter quote is still my favourite… (We really enjoyed our £1 charity shop DVD too) #PostboxSaturday 🤩📮🐰📺
Happy #PostboxSaturday, fellow postbox spotters! Delighted to go on an actual Postman’s Path up in the Lake District as found in Alan Cleaver’s lovely book, The Postal Paths. It even included a trip on a narrow-gauge railway… 😁📮📗🥾🚂
It’s #TrafalgarDay, today. I think about the brilliance of Horatio Nelson a lot because 1) he keeps me company in the Letter Writing Shed, and 2) I hold a piece of HMS Victory in my hand most days in the form of a letter opener gifted to me by our late great member, Don. 🥰🇬🇧✉️🎉
“This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise… This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.” (Pat’s always prone to a bit of Shakespeare out on his rounds with views like this) 😄🚗☕️🐈⬛⛰️
Haven't done a #PostboxSaturday for yonks. Here's one I saw in Willemstad, Curaçao, about 10 days ago.
Always time for a bit of letter sending and postbox spotting on a Saturday. Have a fab #PostboxSaturday everyone! ☺️📮⏱️🕰️⏰
Anyone else been enjoying the re-runs of the dashing and daring (and a little bit potty-mouthed) Sharpe on the telly lately? (Fab stamps on the SAEs too, you lovely little “beauties”!) 😍📺🙊💌
This idea that no one sends letters anymore, I just don’t buy it… ☺️💭📮👍
Someone (the CEO of Royal Mail) is getting a slightly tea-stained (and impassioned) letter in the next day or so… 😬🫖💌
Anyone fancy coming back to 1984 with me and popping along to my local record shop to see what singles they have in stock… ☺️💿🎶✉️
In celebration of our 9th birthday on 26th October, please can everyone write to Alistair Cochrane, CEO of Royal Mail, to tell him what letter writing means to you. The reasons I hear are so moving, I want him to know too. It’s FREEPOST, Royal Mail, PO Box 76085, London, EC1P 1HA. Thanks everso! 🥳💌
Happy 102nd Birthday to this incredible gentleman and D-Day veteran. What a legend. 🥳🫡🎖️🇬🇧🎉 www.itv.com/news/meridia...
Stamped Addressed Envelopes that arrived over the weekend heading out with THLAS postcards later today. Still time to send for some if you’d like to. (Send a SAE to THLAS, PO Box 9347, Swanage, Dorset, BH19 9BG) ☺️✉️👍
The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society@letterappsoc.bsky.social · 2w agoOnly really wanted to order 250 more Society postcards, but it was cheaper in the end to buy 1,000… Anyway, if anyone would like some (would 5 be a good number?) just send a SAE to THLAS, PO Box 9347, BH19 9BG and I can send you some. 😄✉️👍
The largest collection of post boxes outside of a museum at the @lbsg.org AGM today #postboxsaturday @letterappsoc.bsky.social
Happy #PostboxSaturday from this Victorian pillar box at the western end of the Grade II listed Georgian crescent Gloucester Circus, Greenwich. 💌 @letterappsoc.bsky.social
They seem such a small part of the landscape, but they have such a big impact in keeping us connected with letters we post in them and the posties that go to every house in the country delivering them. A humble but mighty sign of the power of a postal service. #PostboxSaturday 📮
One of these membership packs was heading to the Isle of Wight this afternoon so I said if the view had cleared when I went to post them I’d give them a wave. 😄👋✉️

Save the date for this year’s #ChristmasCardDay! Send everyone you know some cheery good news for the Christmas season and let’s fill our beautiful postboxes with Christmas cards on Wednesday 9th December! 🥳🎄⛪️👼💌
When you find a Postman Pat annual in the secondhand bookshop of a stately home, it’s always nice to share… 😁🏛️📘❤️
Wishing you all a Terrific, Happy and United #PostboxSaturday from the four corners of the Kingdom and beyond! Please see that our postboxes are fed a little letter or two occasionally as well… 😄📮🇬🇧👀
