Adoette Local Post 2017 Birds set.

"ADOETTE LOCAL POST:

Over the past 70 years, I have been witness to postal evolution.

I watched my Mother, the local postmaster, open mail bags that were delivered to her home every Friday. She sorted the mail on the desk my Father had built for her, and placed each envelope carefully in pigeon hole slots labelled with the family names from the community. Packages were kept safely in a mail bag under the desk. Neighbors in turn would drop in to pick up their mail. Many shared a tea and cookie while warming themselves by the kitchen stove before heading out for the mile or two walk home.

When I turned the age of 7, her duties were replaced by a rural mailbox at each driveway. Delivery was now twice a week from a neighboring community.

Families were again delighted when in the 1960s, mail arrived by car daily from the nearest town.

Time and years passed, until the winter of 2015, when many storms covered our roadside mailbox, and it met its fate with a snow plow.

Thus entered the world of the community mailbox, situated 2 kms away in another community, beyond the walking realm of my home.

Adoette Local Post is a fun way to recognise the mailing of a letter from my home in the "Tall Trees" to the modern 21st century community mail box. Special letters and covers carry the logo to remember the journey . . . and memories of my mom Shirley . . ."

The two values are printed in small sheets with five of each. Curiously, one of the birds is standing on its head!

The stamps were printed in the far-off country Waikoa Island.
