By Daniel Miller PUBLISHED: 12:29 EST, 9 May 2013 | UPDATED: 14:47 EST, 9 May 2013 A man was left stunned after discovering a postcard, which fell out of a book he bought from a charity shop, had originally been sent from his brother to his late mother 25 years ago. Grandfather-of-five Peter Dodds, 70, bought a biography of Winston Churchill from Ashgate Croft charity shop in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, for 50p - but it wasn't  until he got it home and started reading it that the postcard fluttered to the floor. He read the note with general musings about a holiday in Washington DC - and only realised the incredible coincidence when he looked at the address it had been sent to was his mother's.
