1925: Pies and trams – a nostalgic visit to London
Hot Pies on the Tram Car
What you need to know before your trail
On Paradise Corner, just past the tram stop, Florence runs a pie shop, famous for miles around.
Warm and comforting, just like her pies, Florence is always there as a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on, especially to her full house of family and friends.
There’s six year old niece Josefina, left with Florence by her wayward sister, Stella.
Rose Marie, Florence’s younger sister, in search of adventures of her own.
And Manny, invalided out of the First World War, and in need of a job and a place to rest his head.
Balancing her friends and her pies leaves Florence little time to look after herself.
But times could be changing. And happiness may be just around the corner.

ResetTravel Guide
Travel around London on the trams and eat pies!
This is a novel to take you back to a time where trams rattled around London and where pies shops could be found on every street corner. Markets bustled and people made old fashioned food, being aware that war time was a time where you made things last. Hearty meals and hard work could also be a title for this book as the women and men work hard to keep life going despite the dangers and uncertainty around them.
Gloriously nostalgic and mouth-watering! Have some pie and peas close by when you read this.
