Two postcards today from W J Burford, sent with Pitman Shorthand message to his brother. He died 31 Oct 1918, aged 22. The inscription on his CWGC headstone in Barenthal Military Cemetery, Italy, is ‘We loved him in life, we love him in death’ ⁦@CWGC⁩

Postcard of Gabrielle Ray with message in Pitman Shorthand, posted 1904, to Hilda from 'your loving cousin Beatrice'. 'I hope you like our photographs. Everybody thinks they are very good.'

Harry, the village shop cat, taking it easy this morning, next to a bowl which says ‘Dog’.

Fellow authors and illustrators, make sure you get your lots in! Readers, is there something that would get you more excited so we could raise more money for this wonderful charity? Am thinking of maybe throwing in a foreign language edition for example…

The Routledge Revivals series has just reissued my first book, Making Ends Meet: Pawnbroking and Working-Class Credit. It was published decades ago and it feels strange to return to it. I hope some of you will be interested in seeing it revived! routledge.com/Making-Ends-Me…

Your welcome and thanks for including me as one of the evacuees . Have a good day Gill.
