Enigma

I got this awesome letter in the post yesterday, addressed using an enigma that the postman had to decipher so he could deliver it. And he did!!

The idea was taken from Harriet Russell's book, Envelopes: A Puzzling Journey Through Royal Mail, and was perfectly executed by my friend Veronique who knows how much I love that book.  The letter came complete with a bright postcard and lovely message inside.

She set the key on the side of the envelope using symbols and then addressed it using the enigma.  She filled in 2 letters to help the postie get started and he did the rest himself (well done SB!).

This one had me beaming brightly for the entire evening, a truly fantastic thing to arrive out of the blue. I got such a kick out of it. Thank you Ver!!
