Hi everyone. John is 101 and a D Day veteran who sadly lost his wife to covid recently. He is desperately lonely. Full story below Norfolk war veteran, 101, describes loneliness after losing wife to coronavirus | ITV News Sending him a Xmas card would cheer him up massively. He lives at Thorp House care home in Griston, near Thetford, Gus
I just sent a personalised xmas card via funky pidgeon. Took 5 mins. I have posted same on a ex forces fb page so hopefully he'll get a shed load. Gus
Yeah, I googled the Care Home last night, and wrote the card last night, posting today. Hopefully he'll get it Before Christmas. One of mine took a week to arrive from just 10 miles away ? True Snail Mail.
I doubt if he'll get it. The Delivery Office that will be getting his post is going to love having even more. Not like posties have enough to do already. Have a read. > 'It's Chaos': Royal Mail Workers Overwhelmed By Covid And Christmas Pressure | HuffPost UK (huffingtonpost.co.uk)
My kids have designed some Xmas cards at school so I've sent John one of those. Thanks for passing this on Gus, it's a very good idea.
Hi According to the local news John has received over 6000 cards. Well done and thank you to all those who sent him one. Happy Christmas. Gus
