the postal museum blog: in praise of paper mail and the people who bring it to us
i have a not so secret secret. i adore museum blogs, especially those of niche museums. enter the postal museum blog.
perhaps the reason i love mail is because my father was a postman, or that my first hobby (due to him) was stamp collecting. i love sending mail, and i love even more to receive it. i need to do it more, and this blog acts as a reminder of the magic of paper mail and postcards.
the postal museums blog is a calm and soothing place to learn about british postal history. it provides an endearing soft praise to everything postal, from postcards to the how, why, and who of their delivery. the blog itself is well curated and written providing a good mix of history and contemporary personal storytelling.
if i were in england (the homeland of my mother), this blog would be reason enough to inspire a visit. it is just so well done.
