Sepia Saturday 617 : 16 April 2022

In these modern days when you can get anything you want from Amazon.com, it makes you long for the old days when there were specialists shops. The precise specialisms of the shop featured in this week's Sepia Saturday prompt is a little unclear - it might be fish, it might be melons, and it might even be house moving. Whatever you buy from the old, reliable F M Pointer, you were sure of a square deal with honest weights; and it is the same service and quality you can also rely on from Sepia Saturday. Just post your posts on or around Saturday 16th April 2022 - they don't have to be square, that's the deal - and add a link to the list below. And whilst you are chomping on your perch or trout or water melon, spare a moment to check out what is on the other side of the Fish Lake in the weeks ahead.

It's a day to remember, a day dedicated to smiling faces and endless photographs, so what better subject for a Sepia Saturday theme than a good, old fashioned wedding.

Can there be a sadder caption for a photograph than "Unknown Wedding Party"? Well, don't be sad, Mr and Mrs Unknown, your moment in the limelight has come again and you are the stars of this week's Sepia Saturday. You can make stars of your own old images by contributing them to Sepia Saturday 615. Just post your posts and add a link to the list below.

Here's a photograph to take you back! Woodwork classes at school, endless lessons planing a bit of wood, varnishing it, constructing obscure joints to make the legs fit together. At the end of term, proudly taking it home, watching Auntie Miriam sit down on it, watching it fall to pieces! That's the thing about old photographs - they are the midwives of memories. Deliver your memories for Sepia Saturday 613 by posting an old photograph on or around Saturday 19th March 2022 and adding a link to the list below.
