LIFE GOES ON: JAN 2017

Work continues on tagging the thousands of pictures in this blog to make them easier to find via search engines. Many will have to be re-tagged because I changed my approach to tagging two-thirds of the way through. No leave me alone, it's an illness.

Readership remains buoyant. The all-time number of pageviews now exceeds 436,000 and the number from USA is now running routinely at twice that of UK. There is strong interest from Germany, Russia, France and Australia.

During January 2017, ten old posts were updated. They are as follows:

ECHOES OF A CHILDREN'S PARADISE


Here is a multiview card of beach scenes, donkeys and paddlers and all. The card was posted in 1936 from Grand Mar & Par in Rhyl to Master Albert in Leicester.
