Elena has sent us a gorgeous large-sized card of The Shambles, a quaint old street in Oxford with timber-framed buildings.
The content of Elena's card is as beautiful as the card itself. She tells us about what writing means for her, both as a learning experience (to learn about others and about herself) and as a way to come to terms with her own emotions. On a personal level, Elena, I totally agree with both functions of writing to others. Even though I keep a journal, which helps me reflect, when I am writing with a recipient (other than myself) in mind, it helps me organise my own thoughts and put my own feelings and experiences into perspective.
I am sure that is the case for many of you letter and postcard writers out there, right?
