Lovely socks from my lovely friend.

 The other day when I was chatting with my friend on the phone I happened to mention that I would love some nice thick winter socks. When Tony went to check our mail box look what she had sent me.. They look hand knit although they aren't.

You might be wondering why we have a mail box?  It was here when I arrived.  Tony was working abroad when he bought this house as a doer upper.. He put in a front door without a letterbox so that mail wouldn't pile up and show that the house was empty.  The mail box is attached to the wall of our house and we have never thought about changing the front door just to have a letterbox.

    Those socks are gorgeous, what a kind friend!
    We have a mail box too, our house is double fronted with two doors which confuses everyone so it's easier to have a box on the gate post in the avenue. x

    Oh, they are lovely and I must learn how to knit them better, as my first attempt would have fitted a giant.(lol). Our letter boxes are on the street frontages as our mail is delivered by posties on "posty bikes", a small motor bike or some are switching over to electric push bikes, especially in very built up areas. Take care & stay safe.

      Mail boxes are pretty rare here. Every house has a letterbox.

    Such a lovely thoughtful gift. There are very few letter boxes in doors here the wind would cause havoc with them. Most people have a porch which is where the mail is left.

      I can see why they would be a problem there. A porch is a much better idea.

    We had a mail box as the mail would jam the sliding porch door if you didn't notice it in time. I love thick winter socks.

      I'm amazed reading the comments left just how many people have mailboxes. I thought they were uncommon in the UK
