Lilly : I found one of your Victorian post boxes out in the desert but it was sealed off so I couldn't send you a postcard. Sorry.

Ronnie : We still have much the same boxes today . . and this one is sealed off, too, so I understand the feeling.

Interesting, not much call for postboxes in the desert and Lilly's postbox appears to be republican. There is no King or Queens initial on it.

So similar and yet so different. Lilly's looks like the top was sand blasted.

I'd say Lilly's box is a remnant from Pompeji...

I wonder what we should make of these strange edifices......what were they for...and are they linked in some way to Stonehenge ?

I went to visit the "London Bridge" that was moved to the US...and they had a lot of memorabilia all around! It was pay dirt!
