literally another aussie in london

baker’s delight

I think I would have mentioned this before, but if I haven’t i should have.

I love bakeries.

And in Australia they seem to be everywhere.

In England not so much.

There are greggs, which seem to be a punch line more than a Bakery, and very few others.

In London a bakery generally means a bread shop.

In Melbourne a bakery is a wonderland of 8 different kinds of rolls and donuts alone.

There is a particular bakery in the northern suburbs of melbourne that makes rolls so good you can pretty much eat one then shoot your face off.

With my limited experiences in Greggs i would say that is not the case.

But now I have a new independent local bakery, and I loves them.

They are still nothing like a Melbourne bakery, they have two kinds of rolls, soft and hard, and a small rack of breads, but their food is great.

Today I ate 3 rolls with vegemite, and I haven’t felt so at home in London as i did at that very moment.

I do love rolls.

I can’t lie.

And these were good, so soft you’d think a baby’s ass was made of granite in comparison.

The best thing is this bakery is just around the corner.

I plan on visiting them often.
