what the card says to us
The picture shows Glentworth Sands in Weston-Super-Mare which is where the card was posted.
The postmark of “BRITISH GOODS ARE BEST” is revealing as is suggests that all the way back in 1925 there were concerns about imports.
The sender cannot be identified but presumably they have just arrived on holiday. It is June. And the weather would appear to be overcast.
