• Sign of the Times

    For years I’ve collected the back issues of Victoria Magazine, searching eBay for issues, and finally happy to say I think I have them all.  Two full shelves dedicated to these magazines, neatly organized in boxes by year. This week as I was flipping through the latest issue of Victoria guess what I saw?  You can now buy a set of 2 DVD’s with all the back issues of Victoria.  Every single issue and the ability to search by subject, article , name etc. Two full shelves of magazines or 2 little DVD’s?  People tell me it’s not the same as flipping through the actual magazine, and then I keep…
