All because of a letter... Back in 2023, I had the surreal experience of hearing my words read by the gracious and kind @LizWiseman on @audible_com from her awesome @nyt and @WSJ best-seller MULTIPLIERS. She let me write the opening vignette of Chapter 1. I can't really describe what effect her voice reading my words had.
As a Navyman, I can appreciate this. #yearoftheletter #writemoreletters #handwritten
Admiral Nelson's Correspondence: He frequently wrote intimate letters before & during his campaigns, including famous notes to his lover Emma Hamilton & letters to his family from HMS Victory.
This letter to "Dear Friend" never reached its intended addressee. So important to address letters properly. Ask @RoyalMail if you need to.

Just finished this superb book by @thelonningsguy . Thought provoking and brilliant read on something rarely talked about. Appreciated parts about the rights of these workers and their struggles. To top it off, there are illustrations inside by Mark Richards from Countrystride!

Land's End to John o'Groats – Day 74: Wick to John o'Groats, 22 miles. 1,259.95 miles and done. Beautiful weather to finish the walk I started in March. A fab last day of castles, brochs, empty bays and amazing cliffs. Now... beer, bath, bed.

23 years ago, I helped a young Naval officer. Sailors never forget. @USNavy #writemoreletters #handwritten #yearoftheletter
Happy #PostboxSaturday from this hardworking trio: a pair of ERII pillars and an OG parcel box. They’re doing the heavy lifting for the former Gravesend General Post Office (1850), currently operating a skeleton service as a Customer Service Point. 💌

Letter-Writing Cafes: In Tokyo & Seoul, specialized "letter cafes" (like Cafe Post Office or Writing Room) are booming. Customers are provided with stationary, ink pens, & custom wax seals, allowing them to write letters to friends, and strangers.
Stationery&Fountain Pen Boom: The global stationery & luxury writing instrument markets are experiencing massive growth. Driven by younger generations seeking a break from digital screens, independent boutiques, high-end paper manufacturers, & boutique ink companies are thriving.

Today my forthcoming book, The Postal Paths, is officially announced. It is published by Monoray on April 24 but you can pre-order on the link below. The book tells of my journey along the paths once used by rural posties - and about their very tough lives
