Joining Tom Jackson – recorded remotely thanks to the brilliant Wardour Studios – to discuss the postcards from their pasts are children’s author JONATHAN MERES and artist LIZA ADAMCZEWSKI. Together, we discover the identity of the boy petting the donkey, houses won in card games, how much Marco found on the beach with his metal detector, who you might meet at Bush House and why a lengthy journey to the silver sands of Morar was worth making. Plus a bookshop behind a bed, mystery voices and a sharp-shooter in Melton Mowbray. Wish you were here?
