IT'S Monday and that can only mean starting the week in the best possible fashion with the Powys County Times.

We love sharing pictures from the past and believe the best way to start a new week is look back at some happy, smiling faces.

To share your own pictures from the past, email gavin.grosvenor@newsquest.co.uk today. Keen to see a picture from the past included in a forthcoming edition? Get in touch with as many details as possible and we will have a look in the archive.
