Don't you just love it when you get an email from Ebay to say your item has been dispatched? You patiently wait a day or two, and frantically check the post as soon as you get home from work to see if your items has arrived. Only to find a big, red, ugly piece of card from the Royal Mail.
Sorry we missed you
As if that isn't bad enough, I received my one of these over the bank holiday! Usually they state to wait 24 hours before coming to collect from the depot, but thanks to the bank holiday I had to wait 72 hours before I was allowed access to my goods!
Bah!
Anyway, Wednesdays are late closing at the depot, so Sis and I hopped in the Clio and drove on up straight after work. The handover was swift, and I soon had hold of my new book, after a recommendation from Land Girl 1980. I very much look forward to reading this one. The other book pictured was a spur of the moment buy from Ebay, from a lovely old lady that was having a clear out. That one arrived with no trouble, and no red cards from Her Majesty's Royal Postal Service. I started reading it on the weekend, and it is a very pleasant and honest collection of memories.
