Hey @richardosman1.bsky.social when did you discover time travel and also were you a school teacher called Mr Shaw living in #Orkney in 1971?

If your kids are struggling with going back to school then it's definitely not a new thing.

This little girl was going to school in Evie, #Orkney in 1920 which is 105 years ago.

She doesn't look terribly keen.

The trouble they went to for a First Aid Comp - look at the detail of the car!

In 1982 you can be sure an ICI First Aider could take the right steps if you came off your motorbike #iciwestonpointstudios #photographicarchives #iciarchives #winningtonworks

Back in the old days in #Orkney it was only the very wealthiest cows that could afford to be photographed in front of their home. #CowAppreciationDay #PhotographicArchives

It's a little known fact that back in the old days in #Orkney, birds were scared away from crops by a dapper gentleman in a top hat calling them bounders and accusing them of rakish behaviour.

Baggage allowance restrictions on flights seem to get tighter every year. Back in the old days you could take a Shetland pony as long as it fitted in the overhead locker or under the seat in front.

The news can be hard work sometimes but it's the 1st of March and the spring bulbs are flowering and look how much William Hourston loved his dog. ❤️
