There's no information on the back of this postcard and I don't know where or when this group of pith-helmeted children was photographed. I'd love to know!

Nursie

I'm on the feline trail this week for Sepia Saturday.

This is Nursie, a few months old in 1976, doing that funny kitten thing of suddenly flopping and falling asleep right in the middle of running round creating havoc. Nursie got her name from Night Nurse cold and flu remedy (whenever the Night Nurse advert came on TV she'd run to the screen and stare at it, absolutely mesmerised) not Night Nurse the famous racehorse. She grew up to be a beautiful ginger tabby with white socks and bags of personality.

Much, much more over at Sepia Saturday!
