This is National Letter Writing Week. Letter writing seems to be a bit of a dying art, doesn't it? I used to love writing letters - really newsy ones so that family in Scotland could get a real flavour of our lives here in Canada. And I loved getting letters back.
My mum had a pen pal in Johannesburg through a scheme at her school in Scotland. Although they lost touch over the years, mum still remembered the address that the letters were mailed to.
I was pen pal with my same aged cousin for years. That went by the wayside when technology advanced. But I continued to send letters 'home' to aunts, uncles and my granny.
