Sadly had to walk away from this

A young foal and mum in the New Forest this afternoon #BeaulieuRoad

@PaulSuttonKing @alisonbeach611 Never cheap of course

@alisonbeach611 @ephemeracity I wish it was! I’ve had some super cards in the past depicting the pigeon messengers

Triaging my #military #WW1 postcards. Does anyone recognise the cap badge worn by the chap on the left. #RAF on the right, but stumped on this one.

@Kathryn11Baird Any idea @MoffStarbuck ?

A live transcription of the #PitmanShorthand message on this #postcard . Please help with this if you can.

@DailyPicTheme2 A postcard sent in January 1916 by Gunner Donnelly of the 3/7th Royal Field Artillery whilst training at Hut 16 (“by Horse Shoe Villa”) Biscot Camp near Luton #Hut

@PaulSuttonKing Just noticed Walton Hassell had a branch at 217 Battersea Park Road in the 1940 records, possibly pre-Blitz?

@PaulSuttonKing I remember your original post and thinking it reminded me of the wall and trees surrounding Battersea Park. I think quite a few of the surrounding buildings were lost in the blitz and rebuilt around the time of the Festival of Britain

In a first for mystery #postcard Monday we return to a unsolved challenge from the past. Long standing viewers may remember this military mystery from 2022. Unknown soldiers march around a corner in London, but who are they and where is it? 1/3

No ephemera at the Sammy Miller auto jumble today, so bought a WWII Norman military two stroke engine instead. Bought as army surplus at the end of the war by the seller’s father and last used in the early 1960’s. A bit of a project…

It looks like Jack has plenty of work on at the moment

Our local garden centre has a few temporary squatters at the moment

@PaulSuttonKing @brownbowlerhat I’m surprised this chap could stand up

The #postcard week starts with a bang. Today’s Monday mystery appears to be football related. We used plenty of TNT during WW1 but is this in any way related. Most of the factories were staffed by women. Chap on the left has a distinctive badge on his jacket. Any ideas?

@DailyPicTheme2 Apologies for another from Bodmin Gaol museum, this one is the Dairy Milk eating three-horned beast of Bodmin Moor welcoming a tourist to Cornwall. Both ‘looking at you’ and ‘menacing’ at the same time

@CarlBovisNature This big fellow followed me along the beach at St. Helens (IOW) Halloween 2024. Quite unnerving given their reputation of a harbinger of doom

Calling Raven on a windy day! 😍 What a stunning bird! Filmed during the week on the cliffs at Porthleven in Cornwall. 😊 Have you ever seen a Raven? Think Crow... but huge!😁🐦

A few bits of charming hand-drawn marginalia from an 1870’s family photograph album

@brownbowlerhat Thanks Mick
