Cardiff students write to pen pals before their mail service ends

Radio Wales News at One

Pupils from a primary school in Cardiff have written letters to a remote island in the south Atlantic Ocean -- before its Royal Mail ship makes its final deliver. The vessel first set sail to St Helena twenty-six years ago. But it will no longer be travelling there, because of changes to the way the island receives its supplies. To mark its final journey, the Royal Mail has organised a pen pal exchange between pupils on St Helena and Mount Stuart Primary School in Butetown. Our reporter Paul Pigott has been hearing some of the letters.
