I’ve been meaning to put this post up for a while. It’s a simple ‘thank you’ to The Postcard Underground who have this rather nice remit of sending encouraging postcards to people they think are doing something positive. So, out of the blue and over a period of 3 weeks I received 11 postcards from total strangers (all living in America) who took time out of their day to send me supportive messages. It’s hard to describe just how warming this is – to be on the business end of a generous and selfless act – and also how invigorating it is too. It’s a deliciously simple yet powerful idea. All hail the postcard underground and their fine attitude to making the world a better place. You really did make my day.

    A coda to this story…. Got *another* postcard saying:

    “Hi Mark, I saw your recent post on the web about the Postcards from the USA. What a good idea. I feel sure you’d like some from the UK too? So here you are. Keep on keeping on! All the best, Glynis”

    How lovely is that?! Thanks Glynis – you shadowy heroine of loveliness….
