As Pauline was leaving us for the USA, the Foyles group had planned a day trip to a lovely National Trust Pub. Weather reports said the snow would hold off til the weekend but conditions changed overnight and so we decided to cancel. We met at Adrienne's house and were enjoying a cup of tea by the fire when the first flakes fell. very quickly there were several inches on the ground and so we drove to Nest. Once again, i was unbelievably good and resisted the yarn but I did buy some Drops pattern books and some Addi Lace needles. It is such a lovely shop I want to support them.
Pauline arrived carrying Koji's skateboard which she'd kindly lugged all the way from new York. After a quick browse, we headed to Crouch End for lunch. The food was amazing as ever and we swooned at the cake selection and educated Jenny in the ways of meringue. Then Pauline educated us in the authenticity of a Pavlova.
Although it wasn't the day we had planned, It was very enjoyable. Foyles will be very strange without Pauline.
Stopped at Dunns before getting the bus and bought these fabulous cakes for the boys.
I think we need to return to Crouch End, so I can finally try the meringue and get fully educated!
ReplyDeleteI think of it as educational exchange as you are educating me in the way of the jelly bean.
