I am meant to have finished writing-up Nanny Brown's Scrapbook - because she's a Victorian who started work during the Edwardian era she's pretty buttoned-up as Jackie is saying in a rather more erudite manner. Therefore, she 'talks' through the language of flowers . . . However, I haven't even started writing up the text yet: Picnic Admin think I am sitting around buffing my nails. Thanks for your comment: your 1930s horsey scrapbook sounds just too lovely. Admin wants to know whether Picnic can publish it . . . as ever buffing-her-nails-Corinne-while-Jackie-lives-the-high-life-in-China Hi Caroline

Thanks for your comment: your 1930s horsey scrapbook sounds just too lovely. Admin wants to know whether Picnic can publish it . . .

A few years ago I picked up a scrapbook at a car boot sale. It was compiled in the 1930s and had a horsey theme - lots of newspaper pictures, cigarette cards of racehorses etc. Sadly there was no owner's name, but I could imagine a child putting lots of time and care into it and always being on the lookout for new things to paste in. I would love to know whose it was! Looking forward to hearing more about Grace Brown. This sounds fascinating! A few years ago I picked up a scrapbook at a car boot sale.
