THE THREE MUSES

We have MAIL ART with a theme of WISH YOU WERE HERE at the Three Muses this week and that reminded me of a postcard I received a while ago from Mabel which I thought you might like to see.

This was typical of the holiday taken during the 1950s when places of work closed down en masse for a fortnight in July and the workers made a mass exodus by bus or train to the seaside for a few days. They mostly stayed in 'lodging houses' where they were either provided with bed, breakfast and evening meal or where they provided their own food which was then cooked and served by the landlady. These guests were turned out after breakfast and were not allowed back into their rooms until late afternoon .... rain or shine.  Everyone had a ride on a donkey, ate an ice cream or too, ate fish and chips, bought rock to take home and many bought their own Kiss Me Quick hats too. Everyone sent postcards to their nearest and dearest and many had a good tale to tell!  :D

THE THREE MUSES

UBRELLA'S are the order of the day at the Three Muses this week and that reminded me of our visit to Plymouth a couple of weeks ago (to visit Daughter No 1).  Anyway it rained ... a lot ... and I couldn't resist taking a photo of a girl battling her way through it knowing I would use it somewhere in my art later!
