The postman…

July 30, 2007

… he never rings! He’s not to blame as we have no doorbell but even if we had one, I guess he wouldn’t bother. It took us quite some time to get used to someone just pop in the house, drop the mail and leave again, generally before you could say “hi”.

Now we have a neat mailbox at the top gate, but every now and then a big parcel arrives and then the postman just opens the front door and drops the lot in the hallway.

Ah well… I guess just another one of those things that we have to get used to after leaving the crowded city in Holland…
