The big-hearted team at Nith Valley Embroidery in Sanquhar have answered a “Twosday” plea from almost 4,000 miles away in Pakistan.
Tuesday was a rare palindrome date with the date 22-2-22 reading the same backwards as forwards. It proved popular with wedding couples wanting an usual date, with 32 couples tying the knot in the Gretna Parish.
It also brought a Facebook appeal from philatelist Yar Muhammad Kakar, who collects postcards and covers, and was desperate for a postcard of Sanquhar sent with the official stamp from the Upper Nithsdale town’s oldest working post office in the world.
