I am in London and I have just done a very hard thing. I take time to decompress and regroup at Honey & Co’s relatively new Bloomsbury branch, opposite which there is a Honey & Co Pop Up branch whence, just before Christmas, I got a delicious bar of their (seasonal) Honey & Spice chocolate made by Bare Bones.
This time I am here to eat a Bloomsbury bun (orange blossom, almonds) and drink a coffee while I take in the early-morning London scenes and look at the shiny-with-rain pavements. Everyone I meet is so nice to me, as if they can tell I have done a difficult thing and am soft-shelled.
