A community for creatives
Apparently in Victorian London there was such a demand for post that in some areas it was delivered up to twelve times per day. Whilst that might not quite be true today, letter writing, book swapping, and online impulse purchases have all become much more common within the past year. Like many others, I am […]
In a lockdown that feels never-ending, with memories of precedented times fading with each passing day, I think we are all craving the chance to once again travel and experience something different to the routine everyday.
