We should all write our memoirs ! So little family information gets passed down. I've found a few postcards, I expect these survived because people used to save them. I think they are a facinating insight into our family's lives.
This postcard is of Chapel Street, Melbourne and you can just see on the far right the entrance to the twichels, where Victor Daniel would have come down on his bike, hitting the lorry coming down the road in the picture.
The postcard is addressed to Mrs J Yates, Field House, Spondon, Nr Derby and is from her sister Ada. It reads : Dear Jess Just to let you know I arrived safely and found them a1, but baby is poorly today. Not got clothes dried yet its bad weather for drying here. I enjoyed the Wakes alright Monday night, but it was a rush. May was thinking to going to Derby tomorrow, but doubt it if it isn't better. Did Marjory go Tuesday. It was a horrid day. Hope Dad is better. Love to all Ada. Shall try to get to Derby by dinner time Friday. Dated October 1924
I save all mine along with cards and letters so our decendents will have lots of info there!
