This photograph was originally going to be used as a hint for January squares, but then I spotted Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge, also known as CMMC and realised my shot, taken only last week near us, was actually even more perfect for Cee.

On the 4th Wednesday of the month CMMC is all about letters, and this month the letters are R and S. So here I am telephoning telegrams to Cee from Longstock, a Hampshire hamlet a few miles from Winchester. And as for Squares, well you will have to wait until the 30th for the reveal!

      1. You are welcome. 😀 😀
        It’s pretty much confirmed Chris and I had covid. It is also too late to get a positive on a test. I’ve been in contact with my doctor and the county health. All they recommend is get rest and keep doing what we are doing.

  9. That’s a fabulous find. I remember sending a telegram to my parents in England from South Africa when my first child was born. It came out as Roban so they thought the baby must be Robin. It was meant to be Rohan. Gosh, life was so very different then. Sending blue airmail letters and having to wait at least a fortnight before you got a reply. And telephoning them was totally out of the question unless a real emergency. Maybe that’s one reason why I cope with isolation so well.

    1. Ooh the days of sending blue airmail, so much has changed in such a short space of time!

      And you’re probably right. I’m sure our Portuguese sojurns of weeks of just the two of us has meant we’re ticking along here xxx

      3. Unpleasant! Lisa found herself at A & E yesterday, having something removed from inside her eyelid. How it got there, noone knows. 😦 I’m ok, thanks. Two farewell dinners in the next 2 days then back to the kwiet life 🙂

  11. I did receive your telegram 😀 I adore your telegrams sign. What a great idea for this week. I actually think I like the color version best. It shows the aging sign better 😀 😀

  13. A great find, Becky and I love it in black and white. I remember receiving a telegram from my parents. It was like the mobile phone of the days. I was at uni and hadn’t phoned home for a while and got a telegram asking if I was still alive!

      3. He may have done some in WW2, He also knew Morse Code so he would have been a transcriber plus was from a small town so would have known almost everyone.

    1. Stopped in 1982! I don’t recall them but do recall a few people complaining at my brother’s wedding a few years later that there were no telegrams to read out! And I have telegrams in my family history box 🙂
