I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  5. I’m not interested in any sport, but I think painting the boxes gold to commemorate medals is a really nice idea.
    Best wishes, Pete. x

  6. What a brilliant example of gold and how clever of you to remember that you took them! I’m apt to forget such important things!

      1. I’m so sorry Jude, I thought I was on Sue Judd’s site. These are still wonderful mailboxes. We don’t see this type of thing here.

        2. They were painted gold in honour of those GB athletes who won gold medals in the London 2012 summer Olympics. A nice touch I think.

  10. I love those mailboxes. I see I should check for a latest post before linking to the original one. I know you see them all, but for other people. 🙂
