British Blackcurrant History
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:)

The Pickled Heart Of Louis XVII
space
You probably know that the little son of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette died of tuberculosis in prison. His royal heart was secretly cut out (gulp) during his autopsy and plopped in alcohol. The doctor who did this kept it on his shelf as a curiosity.
Of course nobody actually belived that it was the heart of the young Dauphin. The DNA was fairly recently compared with that of the trimmed hair of Marie Antoinette and it's a humdinger of a match. This little urn is at rest in the Basilique Saint Denis. This vintage postcard lady saw it over the weekend (eeeeek where are my smelling salts)Enjoy this quirky post?
