There is a wonderful duality in being a news reporter. Sometimes you're stood in the pouring rain at a crime scene, sometimes you're interviewing incredible people - and sometimes you're sent to try a festive Christmas dinner at Greggs.
I love the nation's favourite bakery as much as the next person, so I knew I'd hit the jackpot when my editor sent me to a Greggs event. Armed with an empty stomach and an open mind, I headed to a small studio tucked away in Salford for the bakery's Festive Bake Brunch, unsure of what to expect - other than pastries.
And pastries I got - both edible and decorative. For any adoring Greggs fan, this was truly heaven. Have you ever seen a giant neon steak bake? Now I have. - and so much more.
