Addendum to Snail Mail

While on the whole the postal service across the pond seems very efficient, naturally things still slip through the cracks.

Everything I was expecting in the mail came, except one item. The item that was posted first. We waited and waited, as everything else we were expecting came. Then finally Saturday morning, the packet arrived. That one took almost two weeks; not very fast at all. In fact, as everything else had arrived, we had all but given up hope of it making it here. Why other mail overtook it, I do not know. Where did that packet go? What did it get up to on its travels? An interesting thought, the life and journey of a letter. I bet it saw some interesting things.
