29 days until Ramadan
Today is the first day of Sha’ban, which means that Ramadan is only 29 days away.
Wish you were here
A friend of mine loves walking in the rain and listening to the rain beating a rhythm on the windows
Fun time on the underground
I found this on Degraded Damsels, the captions probably aren’t to everyone’s taste but it certainly made me smile, such a warped mind đź‘ż
My Brother
Bowlers and High Collars just added this cute picture which made me think of the old song by Terry Scott, “My Brother”
1920’s bride
An interesting postcard of a bride wearing a black or dark coloured dress, I thought that it was unusual but wondered whether the wedding had been arranged before a family member died and she was still in mourning. The back of the card is plain with a dividing line to separate the message from the area for the address with W.W. at the bottom, this I understand from Helmfried Luers of The Postcard Album stands for Weber Weich which was the photo paper brand. He is also of the opinion that the bride may have been either German or Austria (Bohemia) where a dark coloured dress, possibly a dark blue wasn’t uncommon.
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom,  gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
