#letterwriting — Public Fediverse posts

If I ever hear anyone from the German post office complaining no one writes letters anymore, I shall stick this where the sun doesn't shine.

I searched Wismar, a major German coastal tourist area, for over an hour. In the centre of Wismar, this is the only postbox. If tourists can not post postcards home, why should locals be expected to write? There are no postboxes to send letters anymore, because German post has removed too many of them.

So, a few years ago, one of my nieces bought me a calligraphy kit (I used to do it a long time ago). When contemplating how to keep in touch with friends and family post-social media, a friend suggested I start writing letters again. I like that...! Also, I do write personal notes in my holiday cards, so I suppose that counts.

On a related note, this workshop shows I'm not the only one who wants to revive the nearly lost art of #LetterWriting (sorry folks in #Denmark ).
