Ramblings of a Deltiologist

A while ago I found this wonderful postcard in a 'winter sports' section at a local postcard fair. What compelled me to buy this postcard was not the ice skater on the front, who is superb in his cardigan, but actually the amount of writing this sender had managed to cram on this postcard. The sender managed to write 365 words about every detail of his/her travel arrangements from Lausanne, Switzerland in 1927.

 My late grandad was a studious fellow. Recently, I found his old student diary from 1935/1936 when he attended the University of Glasgow. What is most interesting about this diary is that he lists every film he saw and wanted to see in that academic year. I am going to try to watch as many as I can over the next few weeks.
