Thursday 26th Feb.7.00pm at Rye Books

For more than a decade, Peckham writer Guy Atkins has collected postcard messages sent by the Edwardians. In 'Come Home at Once' - one of The Bookseller's magazines favourite books of 2014 - he shares the very best from his collection.

From the tantalising, to the hilarious, to the downright shocking, Guy's extraordinary cards shine a light on what was truly a postal phenomenon.

In his talk this Thursday at Rye Books, Guy will explain what made the Edwardian postcard such a sensation, how the Post Office came to be delivering a billion cards a year, and what it really meant to tilt your stamp...

Free event.

Coffee, tea, and cake and some delicious mulled cider will be available!

best wishes,

from all at Rye Books

- Which pharmacy can give antibiotics without prescription

  😮 I hope your pain has gone and you are feeling a lot better. I'm a bit surprised a pharmacist would just give out antibiotics to someone who had diagnosed their own need for them! Hopefully I have misunderstood, and the questions he asked you served to confirm your diagnosis.
- Personal training at Gokay’s Fitness Hub

  I have been training with Natalie for two and a half years. I started when I finished my treatment for a serious health condition. It has been transformational and I am now addicted to lifting weights. Who would have thought that I would have discovered strength training in my 50s? Certainly not any of my friends. If you are feeling a bit meh and your get up and go has gone, I can highly recommend coming to the hub and Natalie in particular (although all the trainers are very good). She is strict on good form but gently encouraging. I love coming to the hub (even when it is cold and wet and the programme is challenging aka very difficult). And unlike most gyms, it is not at all intimidating. To be recommended.
