Beautiful postcards, Sarah. Thanks for posting the Bowie video, I don’t remember ever seeing that one before – I remember the song, though.

Well done, Sarah. I love that Easter Bride, so evocative of the era.
And Bowie’s version, so much better than the Herman’s Hermits cover.
Best wishes, Pete. x
