A LUCKY pensioner who accidentally posted £200 along with a pile of Christmas cards got her money back – untouched.

Distraught Olwen Davies, 93, withdrew the cash to use for family Christmas presents and sealed it in a Halifax deposit envelope before realising two days later she had posted it by mistake with a pile of Christmas cards.

Her family immediately called Royal Mail, whose staff tracked down the un-addressed envelope and returned it to the bank’s Queen Street branch in Cardiff.

Olwen’s son-in-law, Val Kacal, then picked it up, still sealed. The great-grandmother of five, of Dinas Powys, said: “This made my Christmas.

“I never thought I would see that money again. I am glad to have the money back and it has restored my faith in mankind.

“The children came round on Sunday and now I can give them money. It is a great feeling.â€
