An Unexpected Item of Mail from Richard O'Brien

I came home from work this afternoon and saw an envelope with a New Zealand stamp, an Air Mail sticker, and my address in strangely familiar handwriting. I had suspicions that the letter was from Richard O'Brien, after all, he is the only person I know of who resides there. I said to myself "Nah, surely it can't be". I excitedly logged onto the maze fan group to tell everyone and then opened the envelope carefully. Inside was a lovely autographed white card reading "Stay Safe Neil and never give up".  This was a beautiful message from the Maze legend himself. I was overwhelmed by it really. He even hand wrote my full postal address on the envelope. What a guy!

What is even more mysterious is that I don't recall writing to O'Brien for this, which has left me baffled as to how he has my details but I am definitely not complaining. I did write to his fan group via email in January last year. Maybe he's doing random messages to fans? I saw on twitter that others have received similar, unexpected messages from O'Brien in the post. Such as HERE, HERE and HERE

RICHARD - THANK YOU so much for this incredible surprise all the way from New Zealand. You have a heart of gold and I hope you stay safe too. I will treasure this note. You are the legend of The Crystal Maze and a lovely person. If you are reading the blog, let us know!
