  1. For #ThrowBackThursday here's a photo from my wife's side of the family simply labelled "Sam and colleagues". I don't know who Sam is but I love the photo and the bus is interesting. Browns Blue was a Leicestershire-based bus company that operated from 1924 to 1963. The apostrophe in the bus company logo here dates this to before 1954.

  2. Had a comment left on my site where I have some scans of photos taken by my grandad when he was stationed out in Singapore during and after World War II. I hadn't realised until the comment pointed it out that he was clearly there when Indian Nationalist leader Nehru came to visit and inspect the troops, making this 1946.

  3. Eleven down, one to go. These were probably easier to find in 1954.

    I think my favorite section in this Joe Bonomo “How to Become Lovelier After Forty” handy pocket manual is “Love Still Lingers On”.
