Dear Visitors,
I hope nobody has been looking for the letterbox this weekend (August 3 - 4, 2013), or some days or weeks before. Apparently, some wildlife smelled something yummy in the fingerprints, maybe, and decided to take the letterbox apart looking for food. A good Samaritan found the letterbox completely dismantled and quite wet, and kindly called me on Saturday morning. I picked it up, dried it out, but decided that the book was nearly full any way. I built a new book, cleaned everything up and dried it all out. I will re-install it as before tomorrow morning.
I don't know if I will be able to scan the previous letterbox visitors' stamps and notes. Many are washed beyond recognition by their time in the rain. Some have really weathered the experience well. A good reason to use water-proof ink, if you letterbox! But the pages are quite curled and damaged. So sorry about the loss. Back in business soon, with a new book.
Bop
