Day two of project 'August Break' which you can read about here.
Today's prompt is 'air'
An air mail letter from my lovely friend in America. We are true pen-pals; we found each other thanks to an inspired initiative on Susan Branch's blog a couple of years ago. Susan invited those interested to post a very brief description of themselves, and link up if they thought they would like to correspond. Ashley and I started writing to each other and have continued faithfully. A proper letter arriving in the post is one of the best treats your day can hold.
(Further reading for those who like 'real' letters can be found at 'Letters of Note' and for a bit of brisk advice about how to format a personal letter Emily Post has some tips, and here is Susan Branch on the subject in characteristically warm voice.)
