There are many things that I enjoy about my morning walk to the bakery. As I walk the block and a half from my studio I find myself wondering..."who's there this morning? Will there be 'pain au raisin,' (my favorite - only there on occasion) or will Doug, Michael, Stu or Paul have a new treat to try."
Just before I get to the corner, if the wind is blowing toward the river, I might be greeted by the sweet aroma of French baguettes in the oven. I can almost taste the crust. I walk a few more steps and as I round the corner onto High Street and look to the right...towards the river...if I'm lucky - and if it's late Fall or early Winter - I get to see some beautiful sunrises (pictured above.) Its just for a moment or two, but on a good day, the whole experience...the walk, the anticipation, the aromas, the sky, entering the bakery and sitting down for 20 minutes to a croissant or pastry and coffee - sometimes with the company of friends or with the morning "paper,"...all this helps me get through the day.
So here's my best wishes to "the crew" at ATG for the start of a second wonderful year!!! ...and thank you for being there.
