Whose handwriting is that and where did they learn? The one-stroke “b” in particular is really rare these days.

Hi vruba, sorry for the slowness of response. I'm in the process of rolling out my blog engine and it's not integrated with flickr (yet) so there's a bit of double handling resulting in slow updates.
Now the handwriting is from an English educated teacher circa 1960's so it's reflective of that particular era. Nice and neat.
