That’s very fast 
I got such a lovely card from @Eri9 in the British Isles Tag today and loved it too much not to share it somewhere, so, here it is!
Thank you so much, Jill!

A little annoyed… I sent off some cards for the “otter” postmark as they all had otters on… and they all came back with kingfisher postmarks 
I sent some off around the time of the King’s Coronation and someone from the handstamping centre got in touch to stay they had stamped it with the wrong date… They kindly offered to re-do it if I had the same postcard again (they offered the same stamp) but I chose not to.
It might be worth getting in touch with them, even if you don’t want/can’t have them re-done, just to let them know so it doesn’t happen again!

Which otter postmark and which otter stamps? If it is the First Day of Issue Postmark, they won’t apply it to anything else other than the corresponding stamp issue!
Considering that the river wildlife stamps don’t come out till the 13th, I’m surprised they are back with a sponsored postmarks.
I may do! I don’t have the same stamps or cards but it could help someone else.
It was the one on the left and I got the one on the right, the stamps were just random old commemoratives on cards with otters. I don’t think they’re first day postmarks? I was surprised they came back so quickly as well. Still they are quite pretty, even if not quite what I wanted.

Saw this and thought some of you might enjoy it. My postie works in all weather but it doesn’t hold a candle to former times.

I suppose it depends on your definition of 'Midlands ’ we are SouthEast so although an hour North of London the Midlands can still be a long way by car…
