Christmas card delivered to wrong address 5,200 miles away

A Christmas card thought to have been posted in south Wales to an address in Warwickshire has been delivered 5,200 miles away - in the United States.

The festive greeting was sent from Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, to Mr T Roberts in Bidford-on-Avon.The US householders have now tweeted to warn the intended recipient he will not get the card before Christmas. Gemma Evans, 35, of London, and her Caerphilly-born husband Richard moved to San Francisco in October.

In the run-up to the festive season the couple received a Christmas card from Mr Evans' mother in Wales. However, it was accompanied by a second mystery card addressed to someone they did not know, which had a second-class stamp for UK post and no airmail markings.
