My nephew Graham works here!

So excited about taking part in this year’s All About That Place online event. My talk, Memories for the Future, is on Saturday, 5 October at 3pm. There are 140 other talks to enjoy – and you can watch them after they've aired. More details here: tinyurl.com/AATP2024 #AATP24

Dog Kennel Hill, posted in 1909 to Miss Lasbury in Bristol: "Thanks for nice long letter. Was very pleased with cuttings and will write soon. Hope you are well and quite settled down again. Love to all from Winnie." #PostedInThePast

Lovely Exmoor-related video created from cine film found in a charity shop. youtube.com/watch?v=2dWS6A… Periwinkle Cottage Susan Locke

Balmoral Castle, posted to Mrs Breach, Forest Gate. Just a line to let you know we are all OK after this last lot. I cannot come to help you. I am very sorry. The card was sent during WWI and a couple of days after the area suffered an attack by German bombers. #PostedInThePast

Thanks for the follow, Exmoor NPCs. I'll be popping in to see you when I'm in Dunster and Lynmouth later this month.

Posted in 1908 to Miss Lincoln: "I hope to have land ready for plants. Will be down at the end of the week. What weather." #PostedInThePast

Swanage, posted in 1925 to Minehead: Thank you very much for the nice letter that you both sent me. It was so nicely worded. I now have it on my table to make me think of you both. Love from Auntie. #PostedInThePast

Visited a Probus group near Sherborne this morning. This was my second visit and I'm booked again for February next year. This talk didn't begin with a postcard but I managed to sneak a few in...

The Landsdowne, Bournemouth, sent to Paris in 1906: "I will write you in a few days time. Accept my love and salutations for your dear mother and yourself. A thousand thanks for photos. Your mother is much younger and prettier than photos."

A whistle-stop visit to NTKingstonLacy today on my way back from Wimborne. I wanted to check some details before the house is rested for the winter (probably be back before then, but just in case…).

Happy #PostboxSaturday from Bradford-on-Avon. It was a gloomy and cold day but still a lovely place to visit.

Windsor, St Stephen's College – unposted but with the message: "A reminder of the old days."

Lots of lovely views of Grimsby, posted in 1911 to Miss Bowes in Gainsboro: Arrived here alright. We have been with some boys from Gainsboro who know you. Cannot get to know their names. It is hot. Love from E. #PostedInThePast

What is revealed through postcards sent by our ancestors? This talk, part of #AATP24, looks at the messages and opens the door to history in a way that’s far from black and white. Visiting London, the destruction of WWI, murderers and heroes – going beyond ‘wish you were here?’.

Posted to Nottingham in 1907: "Dear Ma. Have written George and sent him a pair of trousers and vest. Thank you for PC. Yours lovingly." #PostedInThePast

To Rotherham in 1904: "Sorry I have forgot my promise until today. How are all things?" King Street, Toronto, Canada. #PostedInThePast

Nipped to Verwood after lunch to give a local Probus group a talk. That's it for talks until after my short holiday.

Lynmouth, sent to Yorkshire: Visited Culbone Church – only 35' long & seats 15. Pushed bikes all the way. It seemed miles and miles! We had a glorious ride across Exmoor with heather and gorse in profusion on the moors – beautiful!! Lynmouth has changed since we saw it in 1934.
