I've watched the documentary you are talking about, Auden's poem was written for the documentary. :) It is sad to think that letters are going to be a thing of the past, isn't it? Most of what lands in our mailboxes is junk mail and ads, even bills are a rare thing these days. Photographs, too, are rare now as most of us live digital lives. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-12776375458009262162018-06-30T06:32:02.870-05:002018-06-30T06:32:02.870-05:00Thanks, Mary!

I have never been into paper craft and collage but liked the idea of turning them into hang tags. I think the only movie that I enjoyed as much as the book was The Shining.

Just watched a documentary on the night train mail service in 1930's United Kingdom at Nan's Letters from a Hill Farm . https://lettersfromahillfarm.blogspot.com/ I mention it because 1) you introduced me to the poem "Night Train," and since then I've seen reference to it multiple places; 2) I love the concept of snail mail just as I love print newspapers and hard copies of books. I'll be sorry to see old-fashioned mail die away. I imagine I'll continue to send out snail mail for as long as I can. I agree with Mary above, it's interesting to see where your creative energies and talents are focused.

I will not jump on board, but I certainly will enjoy them from here. Thanks for all of the thought-provoking shares. They are interesting causing the problem of which do I want to investigate first. Surely, I won't get to all, so determining priority is rather important.Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-40378865798855346702018-06-29T12:13:25.662-05:002018-06-29T12:13:25.662-05:00It's strange how often politicians talk of &qu...It's strange how often politicians talk of "evidence-based policies" and then ignore the evidence!<br /><br />Still, spreading the idea of creativity around the world in a subversive, extra-curricula fashion is good too....Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322676800314521539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-73177607270350066042018-06-29T11:10:04.467-05:002018-06-29T11:10:04.467-05:00I watched Case Histories a few years ago, and thor...I watched Case Histories a few years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Love the ATCoins you're making. I've gotten a few from my penpals, but I'm resisting going there myself. No new bandwagons for me these days! <br />I look forward to that wild envelope coming my way.<br />xxCate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.com
