Five years later…

Icy and Sot Walking Alone Stencil

It has been five years since our grandson Noah was killed in the Sandy Hook massacre. Five years. The grief and shock are not letting up. The loss is there, unyielding, massive, like a rock in the middle of a rushing river. Time has been divided ever since into a before and an after.

Boulangerie Baguette et Chocolat in West Austin, Texas

Pain choco

A bit(e) of France in the heart of Texas! There is no better way to describe Baguette et Chocolat. First there is the name of course.

York: Haxby Bakehouse

Haxby Bakehouse

Last May was my first time ever in Yorkshire and I fell in love. Hard. Of course it helped that we were there during a long spell of uninterrupted sunshine and that having been an avid fan of the Brontë sisters’ novels and the James Herriot veterinary stories all my life, I knew in my bones before I even got there that I would fall under the spell.
