vintage postcards
During World War II, most fruits rich in vitamin C became almost impossible to obtain in the United Kingdom. Blackcurrants grow like weeds in the UK climate so the government decided to encourage the planting of the crop.
During wartime blackcurrant cordial (what a vitamin packed cocktail) was distubuted to the nation's children for free. Blackcurrant flavourings have been popular in the UK ever since! Enjoy the Big Ben vintage postcard:)
