@JackTheCat last winter we get heavy snows most years and often it stays for days or weeks ,yet every day but one when the roads were blocked with trees,during all the years we have lived here the posties have brought the post , in gales and sometimes in blizzards ,they sometimes followed the snow ploughs and waited for the snow ploughs return to get back to the town . Absolute heroes #postmen

A #Wellington lady who is visiting #Sydney, while admiring the natural beauties of the city, especially the glorious flowers, is of opinion that the authorities there have something to learn from New Zealand. She finds that there is a slovenly atmosphere about the #streets; bits of paper blowing about all over the place; the #expectoration especially in front of hotels is most unpleasant, and the pavements are terribly old and worn in some places. The #police are not nearly so smart and well turned out as those in New. Zealand… The #postmen are in the same category, and not nearly so well dressed or personally neat as those in Wellington. Mention is made of the difficulty of finding anything about New Zealand in the Sydney papers, especially the mail notices, which are “in any old place.”…
