A taste of Christmas Past!

I thought this post from last year was worth revisiting as there are so many lovely old cards on here. Maybe others have some to share. 
Enjoy

Viktoria, to hark back about your comment on old watches, there's a chap - Jeweller near Rochdale Market, not far from you, - who quite probably would be able to put a new movement into your old, nostalgic watch, and not at a huge cost. He did it for someone I know.
TY

Oh thank you, that is kind.
The next time I am at R/ Dale Hospital my son will take me to look where the shop is and then when travel is easier I can see if it can be done.
Aren’t I a sentimental old noo  nah !

Can't easily get you the name something like "JR Jewellers", right by the old covered market.
Seems to be a really good chap, he said if he couldn't do things, very honest.
I'd have that done myself, nostalgia IS what it used to be!

I'd forgotten about Christmas cards.
Here's one from 1911 from my granddad to his parents

Thank you Carol, yes, extremely lucky to have been given lots of post cards, Christmas and birthday cards, as well as photos from the very early 1900's and through the 1st WW.
Most people would have thrown them away but they're little treasures of family life from that period.

I wish there was a Green Emoji as I am very envious and you obviously value them

😆 I do indeed Carol. Things family members have touched, written, reading their thoughts, their adventures.
Not just old stuff but letters from my niece to my parents about uni life, my younger brother's adventures travelling through India in the late 90's,
An aunt who became ill, every letter she wrote me, her hand became more shakey. Anything I can find, I keep for the future owner of the 100's of hours research I've done.
