Hitchin

This morning Steve and I went over to Hitchin, a town near St Albans. I wanted to look around the market that is held there on a Tuesday. It's a very picturesque Hertfordshire market town with narrow little streets leading off the old market square. Lots of interesting little shops. We found a lovely bakery called Quotidian, 13/14 Sun Street. They bake in-house traditional French, Italian and flavoured breads. We bought a mustard and cheese loaf, chocolate and nut cookies and chocolate and pistachio biscotti we took them home for lunch. I can say they were all delicious. we enjoyed the morning and plan to go again.

There's a reataurant Le Pain

There's a reataurant Le Pain Quotidien, note different spelling, at the Southbank Centre, next to the Royal Festival Hall, which I've been to a couple of times - It's a handy place to eat before a show. They also sell French 'goodies', cakes etc. though I'm not sure it's prepared 'in house'! ..... And Freeman Hardy and Willis .... I remember them well.
