But we all have *those* days, don't we (and they're usually Thursdays). The type of day where you fall out of bed late, there's nothing in, and you dash out of the door unfed and unprepared. Kelly's bakery is my saviour for these kind of days. Not only do I pass it on my way to work - so no further delays - but I can also get a breakfast butty, a filled roll for my lunch, a sweet treat (for the extra Thursday-ish Thursdays) and still have change from a fiver! My personal favourite is the chicken mayo salad roll - filled to the brim, there's greenery in there so it's obviously healthy, freshly made and only £1.40. So if you're dashing past here, do take a minute to swing in and get yourself something to eat - I promise you that Thursdays* are easier to handle with a happy belly. *bakery also available on other days

It was Preacher's Patisserie, which means I'm having dessert before lunch because I'm not passing up a local bakery that sells Cherry Bakewell. This one was triangular shaped, a bit dense, & not as jammy as I like, but the almond & cherry flavors came through nicely. I regret not picking up another pastry or two & that I can only judge them based on one item that wasn't spectacular. Still, glad I gave 'em a go! Sidenote: I could've save my Cherry Bakewell for *after* I ate lunch, but where's the fun in that?
