Another one for your collection* I heard tell about you meeting a young man on sunday. Better if I had been there, I would have been off before he came. When we are married what shall we do? ( Lovely weather) B.E.C

* Possibly the most common five words ever written on a postcard! and as for Miss Cowley...I think before they get married B.E.C wants to go up to Sunderland and sort his Fiance out!
