I love interesting shop names, too.

In Hastings, our chip shop is the Codfather and the bloke who fixes things in a big truck is called William the Concreter. We also have the ice-cream man, William the Conequeror. These small things make me smile everyday x

The Williams are particularly pleasing! xx

Sorry to hear about the impending migrane, I hope tomorrow is a better day.

Contestants for the best cinnamon bun - Fabrique Bakery in Soho (I love their Cardmon bun too), the Cinnamon Social at Ole & Steen and lastly try Buns from Home in Notting Hill. If you go first thing, you might be lucky and get one fresh out the oven as I once did.

When I lived in London, one of my favourite activities was to seek out bakeries and cafes to try out their baked goods ☺️

I love the Ole and Steen ones but Gails pip them for me. I will check out Fabrique and Buns xx

I bought a cinnamon social when I was in London at Christmas. I went for a small one because they’re so expensive and then regretted it ever after. So good!

Do you listen to Off Menu podcast? (I am asking for a reason, honest.)

Oh good. Listened to the latest this morning and it made me want to be rich so I can eat in all the good places. But I was thinking of my own menu and that Social would have to be on it... somewhere.

Oscar and I regularly update our menu in case of emergencies and there are just too many good things to eat.
