On the 16th of February 2023 Peter Rabbit baby quilt was sent to South Africa, small parcel air. I was told it would take no more than three weeks to get there. Alas the post office went bust and closed permanently.
It was never delivered and someone did rip a corner open, took a look inside and decided it was not for them. They also said the address did not exist? My niece lived at this address from 2015? So it was sent back. Yesterday when I opened the community post box, there it was. Our postman did not know why it came back, so I explained to him what had happened. The post office offers a service where by you can ask for a parcel not delivered to be returned to you, it is just a box on their system that they tick on the computer. This was the only quilt ever to get lost which was sent by mail.
Welcome home Peter Rabbit! A replacement quilt was made already and it will be delivered shortly.
Work on the birthday quilt continue, quilting around the applique on the top.
Made some soup with potato, zucchini and onion for dinner last night.
oh wow -- that was a long time going from post office to post office or wherever it sat for so long - over a year - actually closer to two years now - I'm amazed you received it back
ReplyDeleteOh my, that quilt took quite a journey. I am glad you got it back though. Enjoy your quilting.
