| 1908 Dear Sophie Did you not receive my last letter with your album. I have not been very well and so have not fetched my book and album back again yet. I am going to the convent again for the soup kitchen. I am wearing white and am getting button holes. I am having black velvet flowers made. How are you keeping. I hope quite well. We are having a fortnights holiday as one of the resident mistresses at our school has got scarlet fever and the school has to be disinfected. We have ... one of us been very well lately. Fraulein included, we all thought that she was going to have diphtheria but it passed off. Do you know I'm acting at the Studland Theatre on the Saturday after next. Love from Collette |

Lovely. It's so interesting reading what's on the back, wondering who these people were and why they were where they were. I too started a second blog last year, it didn't seem right mingling in bits about my family life with my gardening exploits. It does take some doing keeping up with two blogs though. I see you're managing well enough to start a third.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice blog that I shall enjoy following! Flighty xx
ReplyDeletethese post cards are really beautiful. thank you for sharing. clicked over from flighty's recommendation. have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection and a fascinating tiny glimpse into the lives of those who wrote them.
ReplyDeletePS. I've arrived here c/o Flighty. :))
Ooh, lovely - another blog from you! Love the postcard collection; the one of Southsea is of particular interest as my parents live across the harbour from there and it's a town I know well - a bit different today, though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence Caro - did you spot the old fashioned clothes they were wearing.
