Sepia Saturday 830 : Saturday 13 June 2026

 

A little lad and a big buoy. Our Sepia Saturday theme image this week features a little lad (my big brother, Roger, in fact) and a lifebuoy at the seaside in New Brighton at the beginning of the 1950s. As always, you can follow the theme in any way you want - or completely ignore it. All we ask for is an old photograph shared between lovers of old photographs. When you find one you want to share, post it, link it, and wait for others to like it. Post your posts on or around Saturday 13th June 2026. And, oh boy, take a look at what is still to come on Sepia Saturday in June.

Sepia Saturday 829 : 6th June 2026

There is nothing worse than a break-down. Our theme image this week shows a motor-bike being repaired back in the 1930s and this can give rise to all manner of potential themes. It is late going up on the Sepia Saturday Blog because I was trying for ever to get the blog to update. I am left with a late post and a perplexed look on my face - just like the bike repairer! In the hope that the blog is now roadworthy please post your posts on or around Saturday 6th June 2026 and leave a link below.
