It is beautiful weather, just finished with the hay. We have not seen May yet. Goodbye, love to J & B, sister Mary. Love from all." 2. photo of Slade, Fishguard, stamp has been removed, but has a Paris cancellation 1908. Posted in Fishguard addressed to: Mr J. Cornock c/o Pharmacy Swann 12 Rue Castigliani [?] PARIS message - "Dear Jon, received P.C. the other day. Pleased to find you were alright as we are at home. I hope to have a letter next time from you. Got no news to give you this time so with best love to you from your dear mother" 3.. Photo of The Harbour, Fishguard, posted Fishguard September? 1913 addressed to: Mrs N. Cornock Gwaun Stores Alexandra Road Gorseinon Nr. Swansea message: "Arrived safe. Baby splendid, Jane came to meet us. Had to walk from Goodwick. Love from Liz[?] 4. photo of Narberth (street scene), posted Narberth 18 May 1917 addressed to: Miss Nellie Cornock "Gronllwyn" Nr. Fishguard Pem Message: " Crestow Villa, Narberth, Friday My Dear Nell, many thanks for your so kind letter which safely received this morning. I will write you are long letter very soon then you shall have all news. I was delighted with your letter this morning. No time to write more now. Salli xxxx" Postcards cost half a penny - one four hundred and eightieth of a pound - to post and were used, as you can see from the above messages, for short communications. They had to be short as one half of one side was for the address and the other half for the message, but I do have some postcards with incredibly small writing. Some people even wrote all over the picture side! Very few people had a telephone and even so, long distance calls took an age with calls being transferred from exchange to exchange by telephone operators and were (I imagine) rather more expensive than a halfpenny. Even if these are not relatives, Melanie, they provide a fascinating insight into life in the early part of the twentieth century. Gerry Lewis
