A little something
My mum's friend Caroline is often in need of a 'little something'. By this she generally means a sweet snack, in the morning or afternoon. I thought of her today as I peered into the window of a very nice cake and bread shop in Helmsley called Cinnamon Twist. As well as some rather delicious looking raspberry and white chocolate buns there were these 'little somethings' - or rather 'big somethings' because did you ever see such whopping great meringues as these?!
We bought two from the nice woman who made them and I think we will have them tomorrow, maybe with soft fruits or maybe with chestnut purée and toasted hazlenuts - ooh now the latter sounds nice!
We also went to Rievaulx Abbey today which was lovely and we're going back on Saturday as we discovered that you can do Tai Chi in the morning followed by having a foot or hand massage - such a beautiful setting and serene start to a Saturday, plus it's totally free for English Heritage members.
I always get so nostalgic reading your blog. Helmsley and Rievaulx, two of my favourite places in Yorkshire. Funnily I've been thinking about them both lately as we're going camping next week and one of the last times I went camping was with Guides, up just north of Helmsley! The meringues look absolutely delicious!
