I remember those friendship books because my mum used to have them. She had so many penpals and still keeps in touch with some of them today. For me, my main penpal was my cousin in Germany. Forty years later, I am hosting her daughter as an exchange student until the end of this month. How amazing is that!
It's funny you write about this! I was just musing last week about sending out snail mail with poems on pretty paper, tea bags, art and pressed flowers. 💛
Was hoping to make that my next little side quest.
What a great post, Maggie. You did use your time wisely, and writerly. I kept in touch with friends from the UK for my teenage years, but unfortunately, it fell away. This makes me think I should have tried harder to hold onto the good habit of letter writing.
