Vignettes

Do you remember green shield stamps? I remember spending what seemed like hours sticking the stamps that Mum and Dad had collected through the week into a flimsy booklet, and saving the booklets up to one day visit the ‘green shield stamp shop’ in Norwich. That was our nearest shop to exchange our stamps at.

Well, I’ve now found myself doing a similar thing in France. They are called ‘vignettes’ , and I collect them from the ‘Intermarché’ . This week, I’d saved enough to get a saucepan. Which I have to admit is really quite good quality.
