Hello Dear Readers.. if YOU are up to date with MY Blog, YOU will recall that last monday SHE was going to do a day in the shop where SHE does volunteer work.
The forecast was for grim weather.. so a day working in a cosy shop sounded jurst the ticket, however, sadly the shop was neither cosy or warm.. for the customers kept leaving the door open to the driving rain and very chilly-billy wind.. ugh.. and SHE was sent home early when HER very chesty cough erupted with a vengeance.
To take a call from a charming friend.. who said, upon hearing the cough.. "you and GeeGee are coming to stay with me for a few days and it is bed for you, so pack a small bag and I will pick you up in an hours time"..
And so that is what happened.. SHE put an away notification onto HER email contacts list and WE slipped away to a very cosy and warm home and this was where WE stayed until thursday.. bliss.. so adorabubble, kind and very sweet of OUR lovely friend..
Sometimes being sensible is what YOU have to do. WE have NOT gone to the garden, although the weather has been glorious with blue skies and warm, it is deceptive.. SHE would have worked hard, then got hot, taken off a layer or HER jacket and whoops.. been back where YOU and SHE don't want to be!
But yesterday.. what was this? A sunny day at the Wimbledon Farmer's Market.. with no rain or wind.. how very strange indeed. Off SHE went to see Goaty mum Debbie of Ellie's Dairy.. yum.
On the way home, SHE went to get some very scrummydumptious LapySang tea and a paper but was too late for all the Guardians had gone, a Saturday Telegraph would have to do.. but lo and behold.. what was this that SHE found in the Colour Magazine?
Two new London based food companies for YOU.
A North London based Cheese maker is the first.. and why not? WE make VERY good Beer and Bread in this city.. so why not Cheese?
His name is Philip Wilton and he started making cheese in 2011. wildescheese.co.uk finds him.. say WE sent YOU!
The second is a article which has touched HER deeply.. it was written by Rose Prince about her two children but especially about her young son Jack.
The article is wonderful to read for many reasons, it is in the colour magazine of yesterday's Saturday Telegraph, the article is called 'The son also rises'.
Fast forward and after doing a stint working for Carole Bamford in her wholesale bakery, under the eye of the chief baker Eric Duchamel (Mrs
Bamford owns the organic food company called Daylesford), Jack moved back to London to the Pocket Bakery.
In March of this year, the Pocket Bakery was invited to 'pop-up' for two weeks in Fortnum & Mason's! WOW..
And so I am going to quote from his mother's article and I defy YOU not to be touched by what she wrote..
'Three years on and much has changed. The bakery, set up simply to earn a little cash and smooth the troubled waters that parents and children travel together, has done much more: bringing together a neighbourhood; giving a troubled young person a purpose that had been absent before we made a single loaf; and creating
something that has won praise at the highest level. That all this comes from bread, the stuff of life, is perhaps not surprising. We just forget, from time to time, how important the simple things can be.'
The Pocket Bakery,
Trades from the Doodle Bar near to Battersea Bridge. (South side).
Friday & Saturday - 12 - 3.

SHE cannot wait to visit both of these two new companies.. to get some of Philip's cheese and to eat it on Jack's bread! YumYum indeedy.
