14 pence postage

This postcard was amongst other memorabilia that my dad was looking through at the weekend.

i reflect on the handwriting, the price, position and image on the stamp. 

I don't remember who Tracy nits was or how she came to have that nickname.  I think that we were moaned at for going on a shopping  mission and returning without mince for bolognaise, having spent the money on sweets and for singing in our tent after lights out.

I wonder about the 13 year old who claimed to wish herself home with a hot bath and salad.

There is a line drawing of the Abbey gate in Bury St Edmunds on the front side.

Now I have to ponder what to do with it.
