Joan Thewlis' photostream
|
Retired - Unfortunately widowed but happy with my life. I am a member of The Royal British Legion in UK and this year I am their Poppy Appeal Organiser, which the funds go to ex military and their families who need help. My main hobby is making hand made greeting cards for friends and family and to raise funds for the Legion and of course flickr which has become rather addictive but love sharing my finds with everyone else.
My favourite music is swing, jazz and some modern.
Served 3 years in the WRAC back in 1961, for the last 2 years of my service I served in Whitehall (now Ministry of Defence) in Military Intelligence and loved it, so as you can see I am getting old!!! Ugh but I don't feel old.
I love cats, domestic and wild but my favourite wild animal is the Otter - they are so cute and of course endangered and thankfully we are getting them back in our rivers.

"The photostream of Joan Thewlis is always my first stop on Flickr. It has given me more visual thrills and delights than any other! I never cease to be entertained, stimulated, inspired & informed. She has "made my day" more times than I can count! I treasure the posters, vintage advertising and cigarette cards more than I can say. It is truly a gift to find this much beauty all in one place. Thankyou Joan for all you give us!"

"Joan Thewlis is one of my favorite contacts by its large collection of posters, authentic jewels of graphic art. I also like for his elegance in the choice of advertisements that shows in their albums.
A real pleasure to have found in Flickr, I hope I can enjoy for a long time.
