I have never eaten pheasant although some in the family did hunt them...do you have thousands of postcards and all organized by type? How long have you collected?

I thought I had seen a TV program about this a few years ago, but I don't remember them mentioning anything about the pheasant sandwiches - maybe it was another railway station town. That's amazing how the people came together to perform this wonderful service. But I pity the poor pheasants!<br />NancyNorth County Film Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683794164957833415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645573232665842025.post-70792322044102266182013-06-07T06:24:09.291-05:002013-06-07T06:24:09.291-05:00Between the pheasant sandwich and those leather ch...Between the pheasant sandwich and those leather chairs, the canteen seems like a pleasant place to spend a few hours.
