Ok... so here we go with everything that I learnt in October. Feel free to share your own learning experiences in the comments. If you share a lovely upbeat and slightly funny video on Facebook  then one of your childhood heroes (in this instance it was Doris Pearson from Five Star) might 'like' it and comment on it . Those posts you wrote about Back To The Future five years ago [ BTTF1 | BTTF2 ] will come in useful one day. That day happened to be #futureday - 21st October 2015.  Still no bloody hoverboard though...

A pack of vintage postcards of London arrived in the post this week. Sian found them at a car boot sale over the weekend and knew I would love them. I have scanned a few of them in here (see below) but you can flip through them all with me in this video . There is another postcard (featured at the end of the video) which has actually been written and sent through the post many years ago. I am going to write about that one separately so stay tuned...
