National Trust Tote Bags; a collection my boyfriend does not understand, but has accepted must happen.
First up, from our very first visit as members (24/08/2021) we have the @NTLymePark tote. We took a turn about the gardens like Mr Darcy and Elizabeth.
@CeliaRichards0n Graham also believes Alex Scott doesn't deserve to sit at the same table as Thierry Henry and Rio Ferdinand ๐
I'm not sure I trust his judgement on either topic.
@nationaltrust Yes, I made the 'walk first, scone later' mistake at Dunstable Downs last year. There were no scones by the time I got there ๐ญ.
The battle plan these days: tearoom, gift shop, property, gardens / grounds, bookshop on the way out.
A trip to @UptonHouseNT in Warwickshire, followed by an afternoon in Banbury produced this absolute belter of a VR pillar box, dating from 1857. My first ever of this design.
Happy #postboxsaturday one and all.
Today (24/06/23) I visited @UptonHouseNT and added to my tote bag collection.
The ha ha here is the most spectacular I have seen, a 30m drop from the lawn to the gardens and mirror pond below.

This was the third time I had purchased two tote bags in one day, as we also visited Felbrigg Hall on 16/05/2023 where I was most taken with the gardens, trees alive with bee activity and free roaming chickens.
Highlight of the working day, our new stamps just arrived. 1st class Flowers and 2nd class Blackadder.
We still have some large 2nd class EiiR's which I will be very sad to use up.
Business post needn't be boring.

WE'RE 92 YEARS OLD TODAY ๐๐ฅณ
Celebrating nearly a century since our gates first opened to visitors in 1931 ๐
Since then we've passionately continued the work of the zoo's founder, George Mottershead, and his philosophy of 'always building' โค๏ธ
@letterappsoc Have just told my Partner about this, after asking him "what's the weirdest thing you've seen me do when taking a postbox photo". Apparently, he knows what's coming next, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to sit atop a postbox. Feels illegal ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐
Happy #postboxsaturday.
This looks like a lovely GvR wall box to me, I have no clue as to the location.
This was sent to me by a work colleague and it was sent to him by his Mum, after he told his family there was an oddball at his new job who liked Postboxes.
Had a lovely day on Saturday @zsllondonzoo. Here is a picture of (I believe) mating butterflies from Saturday.
Sadly this was quickly followed by two days of extreme low mood, I barely left bed on Sunday.
Happy to report I am feeling better today. Remember #itsokaynottobeokay
Koko the chimpanzee has celebrated reaching the milestone age of 50! https://t.co/bup57UtxUV
Our oldest mammal marked her incredible half-century by tucking into a smorgasbord of her favourite foods before playing in the spring sunshine with younger chimps Phil, Grant and Elvis.
