The Promise of Something Special

Another gloomy day ...  raw and damp   and not tempting us to come out and  play.
But we both grow  weary of watching movies on television, reading and playing on the computer, while we wait for a realtor to call.
What is the best thing to do on a day like today ?
Go to a Bakery.

After our trip to the Bakery, or even on the way, we can stop at the Museum, the Palais de Glace and see  the new exhibitions .
Even when the art is not that inspiring, the building that houses it is breathtaking, so it is usually just a win/win situation here.

As gloomy as the days have been lately, the flowers of Autumn are still blooming , a bright spot of color where you least expect it.

On days like this, with no set agenda in mind, no promise of something in particular, there is always the possibility of something lovely that can happy or that we can see ..
It is the Promise of Something Special that makes a person willing to leave the nice warm cozy spot they find themselves in , to venture out and see what is waiting for them.

Another Day, Another Bakery

Some might say that it is a good thing we walk everywhere here.
Some might wonder how a Scone, 3 Sables, and a bottle of Vitamin Water can keep a person going all day.
I would say, very well , with no lingering after effects and plenty of room for dessert.

We were looking for a bakery that makes scones as good or  (can it be possible?) better than the bakery we go to now.
This bakery never fails in the good scone category but they do fail with schedules.
The deliveries are not always on the day or time they are supposed to be .. causing some people to make the trip all for naught then stand outside on the sidewalk and look bereft.
A sad sight indeed.

Those same people have been known to be bombed from above by pigeons but we won't get into that ... although it will be a lasting memory .. forever ... to the grave.

It is too hot to eat. Food.
Baked goods don't fall into that catagory.
It is never too hot or cold or anything to not eat baked goods.
But who wants to cook in heat and humidity ? Not I.

We walked to the bakery, we walked to L'Occitane because wherever I go in the world, some soaps make me itch.
Yes, me and the Princess and the Pea, we are delicate when it comes to some things.
So foe me, the best soaps and thank goodness they can be found all over the world ( as I know it ) are Lavender, Sandalwood  ,  Rose or Milk soaps by L'Occitane.
If you haven't tried them, get a little bar of Rose hand soap and leave it out on the sink.. half an hour later your bathroom will have this slight lovely scent of roses.

So now we know I am all about the Sugar and the Scent.

I wish Tate were still here to shop for flowers with. He was so good at picking out the best ones .
