I’d completely forgot I had one until I saw your post, my husband asked for one in the post office when they were first released, it’s been in my jewellery box ever since

Posting you a card the British tag
I work in retail in Edinburgh and can confirm most of our 50ps now coming in are the design above. The one with 4 shields on the reverse was a quick fix the royal mint did after the queens death and is not the permanent design. There is also a ‘coronation’ design with Westminster Abbey on the tails, I think it’s beautifully made and I’ve had quite a few of them.
The whole set of coins has now been redesigned and will be issued in a few weeks. I honestly think they are beautiful and as a nature lover truly adore the new designs.

I’m not particularly a coin person and rarely have cash on me these days, but the new ones really are stunning and I’m quite looking forward to using them!

I don’t usually do this but I thought I’d just pop on here and see if anyone on the forum who doesn’t usually join in the British Isles Travelling Envelope would be interested in our Secret Santa BITE.
It’s a little bit different to the regular BITES which run as a chain mail for card swaps. The Secret Santa BITE is a gifting group where you are given one address on 1st December and then send 10 nice quality, unwritten cards to that person based on their profile likes and dislikes.
Someone else will have received your address and will do the same for you.
If anyone is interested then sign up closes on 1st December [BITE] British Isles Traveling Envelope - #2 by Natea
And of course if any of the other BITES sound interesting then please feel free to sign up! We’d never say no to new people joining in.

Thank you! I’m finishing my year of being 56 with a decent bottle of red wine and a selection of cheeses, and intend to start being 57 with a brunch that will involve bacon and beer. What’s not to like?
