Yes, really. There are FOUR postcard fairs this week; you lucky collectors ..

I was unsuccessful on my mission to buy any shorthand cards at the Woking fair but I did get a couple written in code. This is an interesting one, are there any code breakers who fancy the challenge I wonder? #PostcardTuesday

It’s walking day for Mystery #Postcard Monday. The pub sign appears to read Bridge End Hotel although I’m not 100% on the middle word. Cobbles but no tramlines. Was it local to #Manchester or sent from elsewhere? It certainly looks northern.

It was SUCH a busy day (Day 1) at #WokingAutumn26 today. It seemed that no sooner had the collectors come into the room than the day was over. Terrific trading throughout left customers & dealers alike very happy. We only have room for a few pics here; we go again tomorrow
