I’m not usually one for doughnuts. Unless they’re spectacular, and that’s the only way I can explain this one. It’s from my usual bakery. I went in to get some bread but this caught my eye – I’m always looking for something that has some height or texture or some other kind of interest, and…

I discovered a new-to-me coffee place last weekend, picked up a very good takeaway flat white, and a croissant for the next day’s breakfast. Today, I stopped by there again with Gidget to get another flat white. They let me bring her inside the very tiny store to order my coffee, and I saw this…
