I must have well over 100 vintage postcards of London, but a new batch I found recently were slightly more interesting and different than most I have. The reason being is that most of my London postcards seem to be of the more common and well known places like Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St James' Palace, etc., but this recent batch also included Greenwich Observatory, Waterloo Bridge and the Foreign Office.

Dear Kitty,
This is where we get correct time from.
Yours George.

Message on the top of the card looks like it says "Yours to a blister. Poor old B".
I almost forgot that I also blogged about vintage postcards of London several months ago
As always, 100's of vintage postcards like these can be found on my vintage postcards web site

Great cards and fascinating messages. What does that mean, "yours to a blister"?
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming that "Yours to a blister" perhaps refers to the person having been visiting London and having walked around until their feet were sore. But that's just a guess ... maybe it has another meaning completely.
