Long week-end away from the computer again, I have not read the posts that my friends left but I will as soon as I have written this wee bit.
As some will know one of my hobbies is collecting old post cards, this is the latest acquisition,
The Peoples Palace, Glasgow, from 1911(?) Today the front is exactly as it was then, unfortunately the Winter Gardens at the rear was destroyed by fire a few years ago, but has now been rebuilt to the same specifications.
The museum tells the story of Glasgow from 1750 to the present day, complete with Billy Connolly's Banana Boots.
The old card has another story to tell. Posted in Glasgow at 5.15 pm to an address in Edinburgh, with arrangement for meeting in Glasgow the following day, the confidence that the sender had that the card would be delivered in time for the meeting to take place, changed days.
The message is also interesting, it reads,
My Dear Mother,
I will meet you tomorrow at 3.25 at Queen Street ( station .
Don't have any fear, just come on, they will be very careful for a long time now,
Love Susan.
I wonder, what was the story behind that?
Unfortunately I can't credit this photo to anyone, I can only wish that it had been taken by myself. I call it, There Must Be Some One Else.

Two very interesting pics. What an interesting hobby of yours. I bet if you put all your findings together you could concoct a fabulous story. A collage perhaps of all your postcards, put together in the shape of a large postcard. Take a photo and hey presto.....History caught in time....
