Handwritten letter with stamp

Letter writing was a ritual: pick flowery writing paper, form every letter with care, fold it into a heart or a paper crane, stick on the stamp, lick the envelope and drop it into the yellow post box.

Then you waited. One week, two weeks. The moment you heard the postman's bicycle bell you ran to the gate. Many people still keep a box of old letters, and the stamps they steamed off to collect.

Do you remember? Who sent you the last handwritten letter you received?
