SIR – Jane Shilling’s reference to the demise of the picture postcard (Comment, September 25) reminds me of one year when my younger brother and I were away on holiday.

The local postlady arrived at our parents’ farmhouse waving a card and saying: “The weather’s nice and they’re having a lovely time.”

Alas, with the use of emails now, this delightful example of country life won’t happen any more. Graham Glasse
