There's a box in my bookcase that is filled to the brim with all the letters I've received from my parents and friends during those golden years of the 80s and 90s. Every now and then, I take them out and spend a wonderful hour or two reading them again. It's a lovely journey back to that peaceful time when life was uncomplicated and people were simple and caring enough to reach out to one another.
So very true! And when you open such box or receive a letter, a flood of emotions erupt. That reminds me an essay of AG Gardiner - On a bit of seaweed from his book Alpha of the Plough!
