How this Christmas card made it to its recipient, we'll never know
Somewhere near the sea in Suffolk" read the address on the Christmas card.
How that found its way to Tony and Sarah Wren, we'll never know. But it did.
The pair say they were "amazed" to receive the festive greeting with such vague details on the envelope, which even had a third line that said "good luck with that postie" in acknowledgement of the tricky task the deliverer faced.
Antony, 42, from Lowestoft, said a former colleague had sent the card to him and wife Sarah, but – obviously – wasn't sure of their full adress.
Instead, they only knew the county – and the fact the couple live near the sea. The sender sent it 1st class.
The letter was sent on December 6 and arrived on December 10. Antony tweeted a thank you to the Post Office, and alerted BBC Suffolk.

"It took four days to reach us... really quite impressive," he said.
"In July 2013 we moved up to Lowestoft and sent out our new address in Christmas cards.
"Obviously some of those cards must've gone missing and our friend and ex-colleague clearly has lost our new address but remembered we were moving to somewhere near the sea in Suffolk."
The Post Office quite often gets a bad rap at Christmas, so hats off here for sure.
