So who still ends picture postcards?
Now I know I don’t, and I guess that is true of many.
After all texting, camera phones, and the internet all instant ways of telling someone you are having a
wonderful time on holiday.
Of course back in the late 19th and early 20th century it was still the cheapest and most reliable way of sending a message.
Cheap postage, and frequent collections and deliveries meant a card sent from Blackpool in the evening would arrive the following morning.
So you could not only warn the family you would be home for breakfast but also arrange to meet a friend later in the day.
Today all that has changed, so it was nice to receive this in the post today.
It is of a place that I still find fascinating, a period of history which always draws me in. and is a postcard the first of the year.
No more needs to be said other than an apology to Joe and Bron for not sending them a similar card when we were in Sorrento in July
