Photo August

August Break

This August will be all about images.

Starting Sunday 1st August I’ll be guest blogging at Levenshulme Daily Photo for a week. I’m standing in for Sue-Ann while she’s away. Keep up with my Levy pics at www.levenshulmedailyphotograph.blogspot.com.

I’m also involved in The August Break which is managed by Susannah Conway. The idea is that you let your pictures do the talking for a whole month. i.e. you blog in photographs rather than words. I’ll be improvising on this little and providing some words but they will be led by the images. If you’re interested in getting involved you can join via Susannah’s blog at www.susannahconway.com. There is also a Flickr group at www.flickr.com/groups/the-august-break-2010.

Two days to go.

POD

POD, Levenshulme

POD (Post Office Deli) appeared one day, all shiny and new, on Albert Road in Levenshulme. And about blummin’ time. It’s is not just a deli, it’s a cafe too with indoor and outdoor seating. They serve quality organic food, much of which is homemade, along with Fair Trade tea and coffee.

We stopped by one weekend and enjoyed a meat-eater’s breakfast – fried sausages from W H Frost’s in Chorlton, bacon, free range eggs, tomato, toasted Barbakan bread and a mug of tea. It didn’t disappoint and we couldn’t resist taking away a loaf of the bread, some tabbouleh salad and a couple of slices of baked cheesecake.

The cafe was busy from when we arrived until we left and seems to have become very popular, very quickly. It’s easy to see why. There’s nowhere else in Levenshulme where you can buy this kind of quality, freshly-prepared food. Service is good too and everyone we spoke to was friendly and cheerful.

If you don’t have time to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee (hand blended on the premises) and take advantage of the free wifi, then grab some take-out. There’s a good variety of Suma foodstuffs, homemade cakes, sandwiches, wraps, soups and house chutneys.

For the full menu visit the POD website at www.pod-deli.co.uk. A slide show on their home page shows the transformation from GPO to POD. They also have a Facebook page.
