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

    • @Jellybeanz Food poisioning can take 4 hours or so for the symptoms to become apparent. you mention and I quote  "This incident was most defintely the ice-cream or the person serving it having dirty hands or gloves" I think that is a sweeping assumption again pointing blame at the cafe. Kids and adults can be violently sick out of the blue for any number of reasons..I've had situations where I have eaten the same as my partner prepared in our own home and then been sick once only-he was ok and after I'd been sick I felt fine. I feel you're very quick to point the finger at a local establishment frequented by many with a good hygene rating. To mention the other thread where you slated a local buisness because you and your child disliked their vegan hot chocolate (or something like that...)..It was'nt to you or your childs taste-fine don't blame the establishment. I'm fussy about coffee and matcha latte some places do coffee I enjoy and ditto Matcha latte-I would not post on a public forum that XXXX's matcha is rubbish because someone else may favour it. one mans meat is another mans poison as they say and my personal taste does not give me good reason to slate a local buisness (except in the case of a certain chain 'on the lordship' which is frankly all round pretty meh.
