Potato Pete



My daughter bought this postcard for me from a trip, with her father, to the National War Museum. It's an example of World War II public information art. I love the colours and the font, it's so simple and basic and, ironically, from a time of severe rationing and shortage which resulted in the nation being at it's healthiest!
I would include one of my favourite potato recipes here but, due to G pouring me a large Gin and Tonic earlier, I think it would be safer if I didn't!

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese


I was just going through an old cookery file and, what joy, I found this postcard. It was given to me by my dear friend J. I had obviously put it in a safe place during my escape from the 'married house', now Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese and I are reunited! Happy New Year!
