There is no longer a post office in our village, but we can buy postage stamps in a small supermarket. Then, we can post our letters and Christmas cards in this box. The hole is too small for packages. The box is very old, from the time of Queen Victoria, I believe. It has seen many postmen, and some postwomen, come and go. The wall is overgrown with ivy - but we can still find the hole.
