Many, many years ago I was in France with my parents wandering around a local vide grenier (that’s car boot sale to us Brits and maybe flea market to the Americans?). I idly opened a cardboard box to find collections of old family photographs, postcards and papers and immediately fell in … well, if not love then maybe sympathy with these people (which I talk about in more detail in the first post I wrote about these Rescued Lives).

Obviously I was unable to just write one post about them or some of the more … festive postcards so here they all are collected together in one place!
