There is so much planning and thought that goes into sorting the country's mail, and this was only exacerbated during the pandemic. Moreover, during lockdowns and Covid-19 restrictions, the mail was one method of communication that people used to combat loneliness and contact friends and relatives living outside their households.
I had an interesting and informative visit to the Royal Mail Colchester Delivery Office today to discover more about the mail and parcel sorting and delivery process and, importantly, to meet and thank posties for their hard work and dedication throughout the pandemic.
