  Delightful December #2

  I have a secret (though it isn’t much of a secret) love of post (you may prefer to refer to it as ‘mail’, though you would of course be wrong) and of Post Offices. My current favourite Post Office is Arundel Post Office….

  

  This is me pointing with great glee-ment into the door of Arundel Post Office. And if you zoom out, it looks like this….

  

  … this is possibly the best building that a Post Office has ever resided in. I think you will now understand the joy I experience when I come to Arundel to see the Post Office. If you ever come to England to see the Post Offices, I would certainly recommend that Arundel be your first stop.

   Incidentally it does have some other attractions such as this castle…

  

  Another great place to go is the city of Bath. Their Post Office is not particularly wonderful looking on the outside, but inside it has a POSTAL MUSEUM. That is right, a museum about post inside a post office. It is a pretty incredible place to go.

  

  The enjoyment of this museum causes me to make faces such as this…

  

  which causes my husband to make faces such as this…

  

  While you are in Bath you may also wish to visit places such as….

  The Ancient Roman Baths….

   

  The Jane Austen Museum….

  

  The river…. (you can go on a boat trip down this river, though they do lure you on to this with the promise that you might see a kingfisher. I did not see a kingfisher.)

  

   

  Bath is also a good place for a stationary hunt, but you will have to wait for another post about that love of mine.
