I said my Mum is nearly 97 and from Bethnal Green. He said to me she will know Pelliccis. So I phoned her and she did. She remembers going there with her nan as a child and having ice cream and I think 'oky poky' (whatever that is?). Her nan used to sell vegetables from a cart near Pelliccis. I think my Mum said in Valence Road. My Mum's maiden name is Florence Rose Haslett but when she married my Dad (also from Bethnal Green) it changed to Jarvis. Wouldn't it be graet if I could get my Mum to Pelliccis for her birthday ! Jon Jarvis Just been talking to someone from Bethnal Green who knows Pelliccis.

This story especially hit close to home coming from a long line of wonderful Italian women who sound just like Mama Maria.

Thanks for a lovely introduction to this family and their "home". As I am half-Italian (Piedmontese) I could not help but adore every little speck of this story, pictures included.
