Thank you for sharing.

I have nothing as interesting as you, only my father posted airmail letters to himself (in the in 1940's ) to see how long it took to get back to him, and only have a few letters from WW2

and the letters my mother and father wrote to each other .... I had been instructed to bury with my mother :( so I never got to glimpse what they were like pre-marriage :D :'(

looking forward to the next instalment.

Cheers

These letters are absolutely delightful, Floozy.  I just love letters, diaries and journals of people not in the public eye because they are so honest and are not seeking approval.  The stories of the washing on the decks and the fun and games round the pool are such fun - I almost felt as though I could peep back over the years and eavesdrop on the conversations.

So keep going, Floozy - you are bringing history to life here!

Just to let you know I have just finished writing the final chapter of the postcards and letters.

Please be patient as I now must edit.
I will also delete my other comments on the board so I can create a page with just the letters.
Their will be also a small section on how my Grandparents met plus photo.

Stay tuned as I need to have this photo Restored after I make a few minor adjustments to it.
cheers
