I found this old postcard just recently when going through a box of letters and drawings sent from me to my grandmother in my childhood. It struck me as a good match for this Sepia Saturday.
The card was written by me to my grandma Sally when I was 10 years old. 'Lyckorna' was a seaside resort near Ljungskile on the west coast of Sweden, some 30+ min drive from where we were living back then.
(13/8 1965) Yesterday we went to 'Lyckorna' at Ljungskile to bathe. I picked a lot of sea shells, but forgot to take them home. It was lovely in the water, and I only saw two jellyfish. The sea bed was nice and sandy. It was low tide and very hot. I must go now. Greetings to Grandpa and Max*. Monica.
(*Max was my grandparents' dog)

well done...love the picture of the two bathers with newspaper over their heads...what an interesting tan they would have got!
ReplyDeleteA perfect choice and you had pretty good printing for a 10 year old - also a nice use of words to describe things! :)
ReplyDeleteBravo! A perfect match! It's always fun to find your own childhood letters and cards that were saved by family relations. Recently I have been clearing up my inherited ephemera and came across similar cards that I had sent to my grandparents over the years. It's a bit like hearing an echo of your own voice that you don't recognize because of the strange delay.
