Looking at the people in my grandfather's life in the early 1900's through his Edwardian post card collection.

Rural Lie: In the Hayfield
A card from Edith with a picture of haymaking. Both she and John wrote cards about haymaking at their Uncle William's Hawkesbourne Farm in Horsham. She wrote this reminds me of you, "Standfast", did John hold the horse like this while the cart was loaded?
Edith also wrote on this card about John and their cousin Willie meeting up at Brighton Station and being met at Lewes. Could they have been making arrangements about going to the Lewes Bonfire Night celebrations the following week?
October 30th 1903 was a Friday.
