I uploaded the sketch above, from my Summer 2007 journal, into my Flickr account a few weeks ago and had this comment left by Pete Scully:
' grrr...i was just thinking about cadbury's buttons yesterday and bemoaning the fact i can't get them here...now i really really want some! Tasty looking drawing.'
Being an admirer of Pete's wonderful sketches and wicked sense of humour I decided to mail him and asked if he'd like to swap - A sketch for a parcel of chocolate buttons?
He agreed!
I received this fantastic postcard a while later:

What a delightful trade! I'm sure Pete's tummy is as satisfied as you are with your postcard.
Wonderful trade!!!
What fun... I don't know what a cadbury button is... but it must be wonderful if Pete did such a great drawing to get some... and you Anita, did a drawing that made poor Pete drool on his paper I'm sure of it.
So, so cute! Sounds like a great swap to me.
Hilarious...what a fun thing to do! :)
Anita you rock!! That is soooo cool, I love trades and barter....(and chocolate)well done!
Continued success!
the buttons were delicious, thank you! especially the giant ones. i save them until last. Poor little freddos though, got eaten just moments after opening the package, heads dunked in hot tea. Lovely! cheers again!
Hi Anita,
I read about the trade at Pete´s blog and thought to myself, that you are both such lucky guys. I would find it difficult to choose between a Cadbury chocolate and Pete´s sketch, though I would settle for the sketch. :)
All the talk about the chocolate brought back good childhood memories and some questions concerning Cadbury. I grew up in India, and they had a lot of British stuff available.
I used to love Cadbury Chocolate Eclairs, which I can sometimes find in duty free shops at airports. But what I loved most were those little chewy oval-/egg-shaped chocolates which came in purple metal/tin boxes. I can´t even find them on the Cadbury´s website or elsewhere on the net. Anybody has an idea what I´m talking about? They did look like the nut selection, but I don´t think that there were nuts inside - maybe hard chewy Caramel? In case someone knows what I´m talking about, please let me know.
And what are Choclairs?
Thanks.
