A five-year-old boy was amazed to receive a letter from Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, after a note he launched tied to a helium balloon landed outside the MP’s office.
Eddie Nicholls released his message from Halstow Primary School in Greenwich, south east London, last month telling the recipient about his interests and hobbies. But to his astonishment, he received a reply from Mr Gove yesterday saying it was a “delight to receive post in such an unusual way”. The Tory MP for Surrey Heath also revealed that, like Eddie, he is a Star Wars fan, and that his children recently watched the animated comedy film Despicable Me. In his reply, dated March 30, Mr Gove, who has a son and a daughter, wrote: “Thank you for your letter, which landed right outside my office, the Department for Education, here in Westminster today. “The balloon must have floated all the way here past the London Eye, over Parliament, and maybe by the Tower of London".
