The Royal Mail
Her Majesty is pleased to announce the wedding of Kate Middleton to the Royal Mail on 29th April 2011.
Well - close :-()
Another momento from my parents estate. Actually, on the inside was a photo of myself with my mother, and the year would have been approximately 1955. So Meremail was housed in a Royalmail container.
That shadow annoyed me when I first saw it.
When my family migrated to Australia, my dad got a job in a small community in the middle of the Australian bush, working in a sawmill. This would have been taken there, as the surrounding are not familiar to me, given I was 5 when we arrived.
Those are Australian eucalypts in the background. Why my mother had no shoes on is a puzzle, as she was always a tenderfoot and rarely would have gone outside the house without footwear.
This place called Brovinia doesn't exist anymore, as it was a community of 13 houses owned by the sawmill belonging to Hynes. There were no shops, a one teacher school, no electricity and a rough existence.
The Royal Mail traces its history back to 1516, when Henry VIII established a "Master of the Posts", a post which eventually evolved into the office of the Postmaster General.
The Royal Mail service was first made available to the public by Charles I on 31 July 1635, with postage being paid by the recipient.
As the United Kingdom was the first country to issue prepaid postage stamps, British stamps are the only stamps that do not bear the name of the country of issue on them.
No LICKING please.
