After much deliberation, we've decided to re-build a close replica of our original letterbox; we like to think that we don't let the terrorists rule our lives. Since taking this decision I've worked pretty much 24 hours a day in our shed, crafting the new version. While being similar to the original, we've taken advantage of the situation to improve the design slightly. The observant reader will notice that the new lid is slightly larger, and a different colour (designed to match the posts). It's also made of pine, and so is much lighter -- I'm thinking this may act as a pressure release valve for next time the terrorists target our property...
You can see that Pippa is once again guarding the letterbox. We've posted her out there permanently now, so let's hope she does a better job this time!! Nat also has high hopes of training her to fetch the letters -- I think it'll be faster to wait until Ella's old enough to get the mail ...
