#Thinkingofyouweek

As a huge fan of sending real mail, I was excited for 'Thinkingofyouweek' which has been encouraging people to send a card to someone everyday through the week. I posted an illustration on instagram to celebrate it. I came home today to find my post on the doorstep, only to find a card waiting for me. It from a wonderful friend who had seen my post on Instagram and decided to write to me. It was all the more special because before the days of Facebook & emails we had kept in touch by letter when I moved abroad. I had found moving really hard and the receiving letters kept me going a lot. There is something magical about putting a card into a big red post box and knowing it'll head off to brighten someone's day.
