Penpals
Do people still have ‘penpals’ or is it all done via email these days?
I can remember the rush of excitement if a letter landed on my doorstep. Working out who writing it was, seeing where the postmark was from. Opening the envelope and then seeing the amount of pages that someone had actually taken the time to fill in writing to ME!
Do we get the same feeling from someone writing an email? Seeing their address landing in our inboxes? Or is it all too easy emailing, facebooking, and twittering?
I used to have loads of penpals growing up and some of them for quite a few years but over time lost contact with them – I wonder where they all are now – maybe I should have a look on facebook and see if they remember me?
