Rural postman. by happypat
A VIP I think! The splash of red is lovely amongst the gentle greens and greys of the countryside.

Great capture! We all have a soft spot for the little red vans!

Great capture & I thought it was Postman Pat & his little black cat !! Jesting aside -- a lovely rural setting with those gorgeous stone walls and a pop of red as the post van goes on his merry way !

I really love the walls. I hope that is a one way street - no room to pass one another.

Reminds me of when I used to watch Postman Pat with my children

@phil_howcroft funny how a postman in any country is interesting to look at. I love the green vans in Ireland & they also have green I think in NZ too. I think a postmans life is pretty good, early start but of course things might not be as easy as it looks...someone will probably tell me!!

@happypat agreed Pat...i like the yellow 'la poste' pillar boxes and vans in France :) ...but i do like a vibrant red royal mail box...i do hope they don't privatise the post office delivery service....I was a 'temporary christmas postie' when they used to hire students at christmas to cope with the extra load

Not sure how it is over there, but here in the States they have been contemplating cutting back on home delivery, another change to get used to if that comes by the way

Great shot - even though no one writes snail mail letters anymore, and the postman only brings junk mail and bills, I still get excited about the particular sound of his truck at my mailbox.

Fantastic composition, love just that spot of red

You still get rural delivery! That is so good. They are talking about getting rid of it here.
I love your countryside with the rock fences and neat as a pin fields.
Lots of people tended that land!

Just love the pop of red!
