A big question mark

We have almost begun to think we have a stalker. A strange stalker who sends us postcards. The first one was a picture of Hadrian’s Wall, and which arrived a few days before his walk up there, saying “Wish you were here”. I’m fairly sure I recognise the handwriting on that one but the postmark is indecipherable. The second one arrived a month or so ago, this time a picture of Charlecote Park (a National Trust property about 5 miles away), and saying “Hello, Have you been here? We have.” Different handwriting to the first, and all we can read of the postmark is ‘Herts’. The third arrived yesterday, and is a picture of Edinburgh with the message “Hey Jimmy” in a third handwriting, and with the address very slightly wrong. Again, the postmark is no help. All of these are addressed to Ned in his ‘Sunday’ name, not the one his friends use.

We have our suspicions who it is, and if we’re right then it’s just Ned’s brother (who looks even more like Dickie Attenborough than Ned does) playing games. If it isn’t ...
