vintage and contemporary postcards and stamps from around the world


11 October 2026

a light repast

pancakes (blini) with caviar
I did not know that avocados grew in Madeira,  (ours all come from Mexico)

nor that watermelon has been in Japan since the 8thC, and is celebrated every July 27 
and some cheese for later

All these stamps are fab! I love stamps depicting food; they are a good way of learning about the places. I got the first one long ago, but the rest are new to me.

See my sweet stamps are here.

Nice seeing some Portuguese stamps on the menu :-)

Avocado: we have it in Madeira and also in the south of Portugal - Algarve - a region notorious for its evergrowing water scarcity, something Avocados crave for....

Ah...Cheeses... well you can't go wrong with any of ours.... São Jorge Cheese comes from the eponymous Island in the Azores, and a well matured São Jorge cheese slice with a good glass of red wine is akin to Beethoven's ninth directed by Bernstein....

As to Moi, je feel a bit French today

I'd probably be full after eating the stack of pancakes, which are always moreish, with dribbles of honey from the pot at the back.
My food is here

Those are nice. I don't have a lot with prepared food. Do we have a theme for the last Sunday this month?

The Portugal stamps are very attractive. And the watermelon one too...
