Story summary

Belinda Keir of Hurlstone Park recently came across a postcard written by Chris Ritchie from Paris in 1986 to his mother in Paddington. The postcard mentioned the Bayeux Tapestry and hoped that Chris had enjoyed the opera during his visit. Belinda then shared this interesting discovery on social media, hoping it would connect with the intended recipient or a relative of Chris Ritchie.

Additionally, Belinda Scott from Coffs Harbour commented on an article about economist Cherelle Murphy's $70 chicken, mentioning her own experience in Sydney where fresh rabbit cost around $75. She offered to supply gourmet rabbit meat for city dwellers but received no responses, leaving the local foxes to benefit from her offer.

The postcard discovery is reminiscent of similar recent missives involving Chris Ritchie, including a naval officer from Willoughby and Rear-Admiral Chris Ritchie who hosted Chinese navy personnel in Australia in 1998.
