Just reading your note about postcards … when I was growing up, we had a tradition in our house that every time our family went on holiday, my siblings and I would each write a postcard and send it to our grandmother (we only had one grandparent sadly). The postcards sometimes arrived after we had returned home! I have started this tradition with my own two girls and the postcards are always well received! I believe in fostering the art of letter/postcard writing! Well done to you!
