Our review of PH Topics’
Election 2010 postcard
last month completely
missed the
point of it! (a member
of staff has been
sacked). Alice had
actually left Wonderland
and stumbled
into the Wizard of Oz
in Brian Partridge’s
design! Thus David
Cameron was represented
as the tin man
who found a heart,
Nick Clegg was the scarecrow who discovered
he had a brain, and Gordon Brown was the lion
who found out how to be brave. Very topical, too,
with Andrew Lloyd-Webber choosing his
‘Dorothy’ on primetime TV. Don’t miss adding
this seminal political postcard to your collections!

Putting some cards
back
David Rye, editor of The
Welsh Lady newsletter, is an
enthusiastic collector of
folklore postcards, selecting
many examples from dealers’
boxes, so he thought it
only right he should put
some back into the system.
Accordingly, he’s published
this postcard which was
officially launched at a
Welsh lunch in Romilly-sur-
Seine in north-eastern
France to mark the 50th anniversary of twinning between Milford Haven and Romilly.
The French town has four other twins, and all were invited to send a musical group of
some kind to make up a two-hour ‘Spectacle de Jumelage’ in Romilly’s impressive
municipal theatre. David and his wife Pat (both on the right of the postcard) took a Welsh
folkdance group. The photo was actually taken in Dingle, south-west Ireland, but as the
waterfront looks similar to Milford Haven’s, they felt it would be suitable to give out to
all the twinning delegates in Romilly!
