<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm with Alan on this one in that I have also never been a fisherman. I have a friend who is very much in to it to the extent that he has pictures of fish he has caught on his phone, but it's something that has never really caught my imagination. However, I'm staying on theme for this week's <b><a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/sepia-saturday-253-8-november-2014.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a></b> with a fishing related vintage postcard.</div>

As the weather is awful here today, I have no desire or feeling of guilt that I should be outside working on my own garden, so do actually have some time to dig out a few vintage postcards for this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/sepia-saturday-224-19-april-2014.html" target="_blank"><b>Sepia Saturday</b></a>.

<div style="text-align: center;">
A quick scour through my vintage postcards helped me out again for this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/sepia-saturday-220-22-march-2014.html" target="_blank"><b>Sepia Saturday</b></a> theme of statues. These are all from London, or its surrounding areas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up is a vintage postcard of the Statue of Diana in Bushey Park, Hampton Court. This statue was originally commissioned for Somerset House, but has been in Bushey Park since 1713.</div>

Easy to miss, but no visit to London's Hyde Park can be considered complete without seeing the Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens. The author of Peter Pan, J.M.Barrie lived close to the gardens and used them for inspiration.</div>

Located in Waterloo Place, just off London's Regent Street, is the Crimean War memorial, commemorating the allied forces victory in the Crimean War. The statue is by John Bell and features three guardsmen beneath the allegorical figure, <i>Honour</i>. The statue was made from the bronze cannons captured at the siege of Sevastopol.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again, it's way too long since I've posted anything on my vintage postcards blog. My energies of late have been steered towards my <a href="http://dakotaboo-in-search-of-space.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>In Search of Space blog</b></a>, chronicling my various Urban Wanders around London, and other places, in search of ghost signs, abandonment, decay, etc. However, I found this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/sepia-saturday-219-15-march-2014_11.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a> theme irresistible, and relatively easy. From the image chosen this week I have selected <i>domes</i>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been lacking in time and creativity lately so was pleased that this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/sepia-saturday-215-15-february-2014.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a> theme provided me with a straightforward prompt ... Glasgow. Here is a selection of vintage postcards, and if anyone is wondering where my time is being spent lately, check out my <a href="http://dakotaboo-in-search-of-space.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">In Search of Space blog</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a while since I've managed to find time to post to <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/sepia-saturday-212-25-january-2014.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>, so hopefully my post today will make up for my weeks of absence. We've not had any snow here in the south of the UK whatsoever this winter, but inspired by Alan's prompt of a skier, I have dug out a snow related vintage postcard.<br />

However, as we have not had any snow, but almost every other season in the past 24 hours, I have also shared some vintage postcards of Jesmond Dene in different seasons. <br />

Sometimes <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/sepia-saturday-201-2-november-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a> seems to be feast or famine for me. Glad to report that this is a feast week though, and if anything I have too many pictures to choose from for this week's <i>house</i> theme. So to limit them I thought I'd only include a few <i>classics</i> and a couple of variations on the house theme.</div>

Having blogged a few times with <a href="http://dakotaboo-vintage-postcards.blogspot.com/2012/02/sepia-saturday-113-edwardian-actresses.html" target="_blank">vintage postcards of actresses and actors</a>, I though that I'd diversify a bit for this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/sepia-saturday-199-19-october-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a> and share some vintage postcards of theatres themselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up with have the Greek Theatre at Bradfield College, Berkshire. More of an amphitheatre than a theatre though I think.</div>

Next up is the Cliff Theatre in Cliftonville, Kent. I'm not sure which building is actually the theatre, and I can't see any cliffs either. I'm guessing it's within the building named "The Gay Parade".</div>

The next two vintage postcards are both incarnations of the same theatre, the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, in Stratford-on-Avon. The first postcard shows the original theatre which was opened in 1879 but destroyed by fire in 1926. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have anything related to a doctor to share, but I do have a nurse related, vintage postcard, so I'm almost on theme for this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/sepia-saturday-196-28-september-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>. The postcard was published by Raphael Tuck in the Flemish Cottage Homes Series III, and the postcard artist is J.A.Heyermans. I would have thought that Flemish Cottage Homes was quite a small niche, but as this would seem to be from the 3rd series, then I guess it was more mainstream in 1905 when the postcard was published.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, it's a bit scary how quickly the weeks fly by, but good that it's the weekend. This week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/sepia-saturday-195-21-september-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a> had me rummaging through a few old magazines, but eventually I decided, yet again, on old postcards, and the theme of peace.</div>

I don't have any pictures of items related to sewing, but I do have flags to contribute to this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/sepia-saturday-19414-september-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Is it me or does Saturday come around quicker each week? This is of course a good thing as it means it's the weekend, but also means I have to get my brain engaged in other activity, like coming up with a post for <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/sepia-saturday-191-23-august-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>. As the prompt says though, there's plenty in this week's post to choose from. My immediate thought was hats, but I did that for <a href="http://dakotaboo-vintage-postcards.blogspot.com/2013/08/sepia-saturday-190-vintage-postcards-of.html" target="_blank">my blog post last week</a>, so instead I'm going for facial hair and share a few carte de visite (CDV) that I acquired recently.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A bit rushed, and a bit late this week, plus I couldn't quite match with the picnic theme for this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/sepia-saturday-190-17-august-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a> but couldn't help notice the magnificent straw hats the ladies in the picture were wearing, so on a hat theme, here are a handful of Edwardian actresses with some pretty fine hats.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have anything biblical to share for this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/sepia-saturday-187-27-july-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>, but I have stayed on the theological theme with some vintage postcards of churches. Rather than go for the more well known churches in big towns and cities, I have instead opted for a few smaller, almost certainly less familiar ones. Admittedly I did not do a huge amount of research for this posting, but something I did discover on my <i>travels</i> through hyperspace, was that <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0007415672/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0007415672&linkCode=as2&tag=wwwdakotabooc-21" target="_blank">John Betjeman</a> had a love of churches as well as trains. I have several of his books on the latter but none on the former - perhaps it's time to put this right.</div>

Looks as though it's going to be a warm day today, which will make a pleasant change, so I will be off out on my bike shortly, but still time to share some vintage postcards for this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/sepia-saturday-183-29-june-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>.

<div style="text-align: center;">
After doing a quick search for <i>milk</i>, <i>dairy</i> and <i>horse</i> in my postcard list, I found this one below which not only fitted in, admittedly rather loosely, with the theme of horses for this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/sepia-saturday-182-22-june-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>, but also fits in nicely with the fact that today is the Summer Solstice, and people are congregating around Stonehenge, about 30 miles or so from where we live.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't actually have very many pictures of people, let alone pictures of people adorned with jewellery for this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/sepia-saturday-181-15-june-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>, so this is the closest I can get. Unfortunately I don't know anything about this picture as there's no publisher or location information on the back of the postcard. Maybe one of the Sepia Saturday super-sleuths can help out here ... maybe the crowns and what appear to be drums in the front row help identify this?</div>

I've been out and about today, making the most of our second weekend of summer, with a <a href="http://dakotaboo-in-search-of-space.blogspot.com/2013/06/coastal-wandering-day-out-in-lymington.html" target="_blank">coastal wander around Lymington</a> so I'll need to keep this week's post short. I'm not so good with the birds, beasts and reptiles which was the main prompt in this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/sepia-saturday-179-1-june-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>, but I have gone for one of the secondary prompts ... caravans. Interesting that the gypsy way of life was celebrated 100 years ago, whereas it's a rather different story today.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was away last weekend so managed to miss last week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/sepia-saturday-178-25-may-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>, but am here and a bit early this week. Unfortunately I do not seem to have any vintage postcards which show a face close-up, so I've had to go for the full body. Also, unfortunately I don't know much about this pictures either, other than the publisher or studio name. I'm assuming these are just <i>ordinary</i> people as opposed to famous people, although the second one does look a bit familiar. I never realised until I put the two postcards side-by-side that the pose is almost identical, so maybe a <i>standard</i> of the time.</div>

Hopefully Alan won't give me a detention but am I allowed to indulge myself this week for <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/sepia-saturday-176-11-may-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a> and publish a second post? After submitting my <a href="http://dakotaboo-vintage-books-magazines.blogspot.com/2013/05/sepia-saturday-176-schools.html" target="_blank">vintage school listings</a> last night, I found some other school related subject matter, this time in my vintage postcards. The first school looks, from the setting, quite idyllic. The second one looks a bit harsh.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really had no idea where to start to sty on theme for this week's <a href="http://sepiasaturday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/sepia-saturday-174-27-april-2013.html" target="_blank">Sepia Saturday</a>, so I am not theming this week. Instead I am sharing some recently acquired, vintage postcards of steam ships, some sepia, some not. I have posted about steam ships before, most recently the <a href="http://dakotaboo-vintage-postcards.blogspot.com/2012/10/sepia-saturday-146-rms-queen-mary.html" target="_blank">R.M.S.Queen Mary</a>, and before that the <a href="http://dakotaboo-vintage-postcards.blogspot.com/2011/09/sepia-saturday-92-ssworthing.html">S.S.Worthing</a>, so whilst not exactly an obsession, it seems I do have more than just a passing interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A long cruise on a steam ship does have a certain appeal, and I know several folks who make this their annual holiday, but I have recently been put off the idea by the simply dreadful adverts for cruises that are shown as the sponsors of the Endeavour TV series. However, if we can put that aside for a few moments, our voyage starts with three steam ships from the Union Castle line:</div>

Next up we have the Cunard ship, the RMS Queen Mary, followed by the RMS Victorian. Sepia or black and white works well for a lot of vintage postcard subject matter, but I can't help thinking the colour postcards below win the judges best postcard in category prize here today.</div>
