Here are the backs of the cards in the same order.
The message reads:
Dear Ruth just a card to ask you if you can put me up for one night as I shall be home on Thursday and shall probably go to the flat on Friday. I shall not come until after xx o'clock as I shall be calling at mothers first hope you are all well Love from Ethel
The message on this one is a little harder to make out, but seems to say:
14 Warren Rd Folkestone

I wonder what "big Pots" are ?
ReplyDeleteCan't you just picture "Fred and Ethel"(Lucy's neighbors) among the Big Pots.

When I saw "Fred and Ethel." I thought of Lucy.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is probably good they lived prior to Lucy time, otherwise their name pairing would have been a source of giggles and laughs. I feel sorry for the Jerry and Elaine's, Homer and Marge's and Hank and Peggy's out there.
ReplyDelete'we are at Sandgate today', the next small town from Folkestone (my home town) just a stones throw.
