I want a coffee shop near me that has a bench in the shade, really good cappuccinos, gorgeous branding and someone who remembers how I like my drink.
The one pictured, the Bluebird, was on East 1st Street between 1st and 2nd Avenue and ticked every box. I didn’t bother with Starbucks.
I went to see my very good friends Nic and Owain in Manchester last weekend. We did some chatting, plenty of cake eating, lots of tea drinking and a fair amount of wine drinking.
We also wandered a lot in the lovely spring sunshine. A perfect way to spend a weekend.
These lovely photos were taken at Patisserie Macaron on the north side of Clapham Common on Sunday.
I love their old fashioned light fittings, stained glass, mirrors and mis matched china.
They have all kinds of delicious treats but I was there for the macarons really. It reminded me that I must try harder to get them right!
