Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s as seen by a colonial family
Did any of the family letters or diaries from that time survive? It would be wonderful to read their perspective.
Sadly not. I would have loved a diary. Sometimes I think of writing this as a children's story... where a diary actually exists!
Excellent idea!
Most interesting story regarding your grandparents. Taking your play around Australia sounds like a great idea. Good luck with it.
You don’t need diaries, you have more than enough information and stories with your photographs.
Hi there Linda, Oh, but I'd love some diaries! I wouldn't say no to a Commonplace Book either... or an apology letter from my British Grandfather... we family historians can be greedy!
Thank you, Jane, for these photos which are most interesting.
Pleasure Russell!
I could feel the heartfelt warmth in your writing - sharing the family photos and history. In particular the snap bottom right 🩵
