Watching it now! My favourite Celia Johnson film.

Happy #PostboxSaturday from The Post Office Arcade, Bridgeport, Connecticut. There's a Woolworth store on the left. On the right is the office for a language school. The schools were created to help the workforce who didn't speak English. "Would love to hear from you."

I've had some lovely feedback following last night's Zoom talk to a group in Nottingham. I will include this image in the short piece I'm writing for their journal.

View of London near St Paul’s at the Ludgate end. It was sent to Rose who lived in Eastbourne by her friend Lily. Years after I bought this card, I'm now researching a business here (not shown on this card... so had to buy another which has yet to arrive). 😃 #PostedInThePast

Happy #StinkPipeSaturday from Southampton in 1931 – sent to Thackeray Road, East Ham: Dear Son, Having a wonderful time. Spent 5 hours in Southampton. We just missed a great storm yesterday. Getting out of the hilly district so it is easy going. #PostedInThePast

Happy #PostboxSaturday from East Holme, Dorset.

No one ever mentions the calories when they talk about 'research'. Still, lovely day in Tolpuddle and I did do a fair amount of walking...

Where would we be without museums? I've almost finished the Blandford Forum section in my new book about Dorset. Visits to Blandford's Fashion and Town museums have completed those chapters' research. The only question is, did Arthur meet your ancestors? #Genealogy

Door exhibited in Wareham Museum – from the childhood home of Lawrence of Arabia, complete with 'height marks' for Ned, as he was known. #AdoorableThursday
