Maybe we should suggest it to those desperate for work!!<br /><br />I would love to still handwrite letters, with a fountain pen, but I do admit to using email instead.

I have recently rediscovered letters written by my grandad to me and my three sisters. We were only just saying today that they bring him to life again, we can imagine him sitting there writing them to us :-) we are all middle aged now and they take us back to being 10/11! Emails won't do the same thing will they:-)Alice - Wisteria Lodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000362242680066861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945127844477191398.post-6575837328680458112013-03-15T09:26:13.852+00:002013-03-15T09:26:13.852+00:00My friend of 30 years and more, and I correspond s...My friend of 30 years and more, and I correspond still by letter.

The idea of the common citizen being able to read the bible in the vernacular so outraged the powers that be, they destroyed his workshop, twice.
