I REALLY feel it would be a good idea if your readers contacted you about good news for a change! The spring is just around the corner, the nights are getting lighter and things are generally looking up!

Today I received a letter giving me details of a new baby boy called Adam, such lovely photographs and such a lovely baby - delightful!

Nothing unusual I can hear you saying - well it is utterly amazing that it reached us at all.

It was posted second class in Edinburgh on Friday afternoon on February 11 - we received it today, Monday, February 14 - wonderful - yes wonderful - it was posted to: Vanetta and Derek, Stone Manor, Stone, Glos.

That was all that was on the envelope, not only did it get here in record time but someone at the sorting office went to a lot of trouble to work it out and forward it onto us. Such a splendid service from Royal Mail!

I feel that a public tank you is in order - we hear plenty of moans and groans about the post office.

I must say that in our experience the service we get is first class all year round and I would like people to know how happy their latest effort has made us feel.

Thank your for reading this - please start a "Good news column" for the spring.
