Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

I love receiving letters, cards and postcodes.

Often received; if written by someone on holiday; days after that person has returned home.

Use this space however you like as though you are writing a letter to someone with whom you relate to in real life.

You might want to say something to that person, or persons and not be given the opportunity.

Families can be so very judgemental and cause much hurt and pain.

This is a way of writing to tell someone how you truly feel; good or bad.

Just read along if this is not your style.

Carry on with your own preference of using the forums.

This is just an idea.

Sometimes we do not know that we might enjoy something different unless we try.

Writing letters can be very therapeutic and a special way of releasing pent up feelings without the person knowing.

Lastly, in writing a letter, you need not put their name or title.

You might like to address the letter as dear friend, or dear family member; dear doctor; dear psychiatrist; dear pet.

Think outside of the square and write about what you would really like to say.

Good luck

Sophia

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Tigger felt reassured by Little Bee's caring words.

It does not take Tigger long at all to bounce back into life.

Tigger is a very curious Tigger who loves spontaneity.

He is very sensitive but at the same time a great thinker.

Tigger was shocked when he suddenly saw a blur of black perched on the end of his nose.

With @Exoplanet @Oaktree @Lilaca @Ripples @Appleblossom @NatureLover @Snowie @Shaz51 @Anastasia @Emelia8 all nearby and @Ripples Roo climbing up him at the same time talking to Horace, felt strongly supported by his precious friends.

Owl scouting the other bats and redirecting them further into the cave did create a magnificent sight.

On Piglet starting the whispering line, a solution was found to help Horace recover.

What the merry troupe of friends did not realise was that Horace the bat was related to the grumpy bat, their postman. Word had got back to grumpy who grumbled and moaned about the band of friends.

This would mean more post...

Hmm what could grumpy do to slow down eventually stop all of the letters being posted?............

Dear Friends,

The decision was made to stay in the cave all except for Christopher Robin who had to be home for dinner or else his Mother would freak out. Christopher Robin agreed to come back first thing tomorrow with all the necessary supplies to help Horrace. Christopher Robin ventured to the opening of the cave to find the rain easing off a little. She skipped through the forrest to her home on the outskirts of the woods. When she got there she was soaked through so her Mother put her in a nice hot shower and dry clothes. Then Christopher had a nice hot meal of rice and vegetable stew which was very welcome and warming indeed.

The next day Christopher Robin returned to her friends in the cave. She had brought with her some honey tea, a herbal remedy for tonsillitis and some honey and lemon cough drops for Horrace. Christophers' Mother had also packed a wonderful picnic for all the friends to share and enjoy. There were fruits and vegetables, crackers, spreads, dips and very best of all lemonade. The friends loved lemonade with the fizz that made their throats and noses tingle.

Owl went to find the grumpy post bat to find out why delivering the post made him so very grumpy. She was very wise so she was the perfect friend to go ask him. Maybe she could talk him around as the friends loved sending and receiving mail but they didn't want poor post bat to be grumpy at all...

All my love

Eeyore

Dear Friends,

Writing stories as a group is so much fun. I hope that more of you will join in so that we can hear both your voices and the voices of your characters. It doesn't matter if you are good or bad at writing the main thing is that you are joining in, letting go a little and having fun. I think the more we do this, along with reading other's contributions the more our writing skills will develop. What do you guys think?

All my love,

Eeyore

Dear Friends,

Owl went and found the grumpy old post bat.

"Hello post bat." said Owl

"My name is Aloysius!" post bat declared very grumpily. Nobody ever seemed to know or use his name.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Aloysius." said kind wise Owl. "Why are you so grumpy about delivering the mail to us when that is your job?" she asked.

"Because I never get any mail delivered to me!" stated Aloysius. "Nobody knows my name to address the mail to me and also there is just so much mail to deliver these days due to all you new woodland friends. There are letters criss-crossing backwards and forwards all over the darn forrest!"

Owl thought about the matter for a few moments and then put up her wing in an idea. "I have got it!" she said. "My friends and I now knowing your name could write you some letters so that now you are included and when young Horrace is back to full health we can make him an apprentice post bat which will considerably lighten your load. What do you think about that?"

"Well I don't know?" Aloysius questioned. "Maybe that could work?"

All my love,

Eeyore

Dear @Shaz51

I am loving this thread too, maybe a little too much. I had extra time on my hands today while I was waiting so that's why all the extra contributions from me today. Group stories are so fun. Who knew???

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

love it @Oaktree

Had to smile about the slight nudge of others are welcome to join in laugh

Nature of the forums.

I am still enjoying this very much and I know @Exoplanet has made some brilliant contributions.

I love the name Aloysius. No wonder he is a grumpy bat.

How lovely of you dear Eeyore to consider the feelings of Aloysius. A gentle reminder to all of us, that even when someone is grumpy we might not realise what they are feeling underneath.

Offering support and involving him in our adventures is very supportive.

Tigger is very impressed but unable to put his feelings into words at the moment.

He is still treading on eggshells after ruining the blasted chocolate mud cake.

Now Horace has been given an apprenticeship. Woohoo.

I wonder if anyone will offer to take on the role of Aloysius and also another the role of Horace.

I am not going anywhere @Oaktree the more that I can be a child the more I want to stay.

Thank you for sharing

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Dear Friends,

I am so impressed with all your creativity! I am really enjoying this feel-good thread! 🙂

Thank you @Lilaca for your good wishes. I had a couple of bad days and stayed away from the forums. Feeling better today.

Kanga took Roo and Tigger aside, and said, "Today we are having a writing lesson! We are going to write a letter to Aloysius!" Roo jumped up and down with excitement. Tigger said, "Can we invite him to play with us?" Kanga said, "Tigger, dear, Aloysius is a bat, so he comes out to play at night time." Tigger said, "We can play at night time too!" Kanga said, "Tiggers and Roos need their sleep at night time. But we can tell Aloysius that you would have liked to play with him, and that will be just as good as actually playing." Roo and Tigger bent earnestly to their letter. Kanga had to spell Aloysius' name for them, and help Roo with some of the letters, particularly 's'. After the letter was finished, she gave them each a snack of raisins. "Where will we leave the letter?" Roo asked. "We will ask Owl to deliver it, up high somewhere," said Kanga.

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Dear Friend @NatureLover

I am sorry to hear that you have not been feeling well.

I forgot all about that when I became engrossed in continuing the story telling.

It is lovely to have you back with us and wonderful that you are really enjoyed this feel-good thread. I like the way that you have written that.

........................It was a lovely gesture of Kanga to assist Roo and Tigger in writing to Aloysius. What a mouthful to say. The merry band of friends might need some lessons in how to pronounce such a name as well as the spelling.

Tigger was very focussed on what he might write to Aloysius once he had learnt how to spell his name along with asking Kanga to check what he had written.

In his letter he asked Aloysius exactly what he did at night in the dark. He was aware that bats hung upside down in the daytime in very dark areas.

Hmm he thought. Perhaps I could ask Owl as owls are awake at night in dark places calling out hoot hoot hoot.

Owl was asleep at the moment.

Tigger wrote his letter and decided to fold the paper into a card form thinking that it might seem like a present that way. He attempted to draw a picture of a bat which looked more like an ink blot.

Well he thought. He had tried and that was the best that he could do.

He gave his card to Kanga to put with the other letters written to Aloysius.

Now how was Horace feeling with his sore throat? He could not ask him as it was not good for Horace to talk and strain his voice.

Tigger steppped outside of the cave cautiously and grabbed the closest wildflowers that he could find. He returned to the inner section of the cave and presented the colourful wildflowers to Horace. Horace bravely smiled and waved in gratitude.

Well what now Tigger thought? Where are Owl, Eeyore, Christopher Robin (who apparently had a mother who was grumpy also) That now made two grumpy people.

Tigger was tempted to try to come up with an idea of how to cheer up the two grumpy people. He wanted to help his good friend, Christopher Robin.

He thought it might be best to ask his other friends.

Roo, Owl, Gumnut baby, Christopher Robin, Eeyore, White Rabbit, Little Bee are you somewhere nearby?.............
