A little bit of what you fancy does you good

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Calling all sweet-toothed individuals - have you reached the point in the day (mid-morning or afternoon slump) when you’re not sure you’ll be able to keep your head off your desk without an injection of sugar? Well, I have the answer, having fallen head over heels for Peyton and Burne. Our nearest emporium of sugary goodness is just a hop, skip and carefree jump across Tottenham Court Road to the entrance lobby of Heal’s and Habitat.

Last week I picked up a gorgeous, individually wrapped fairycake as a gift, while simultaneously managing to restrain myself with all the other goodies on display. And checking out their website - hello! Chocolate and Pear spread? yes please! And their packaging makes me think of the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ posters, there’s something unfussy and British about the mere look of them.

Anyway, enough mooning over them, I’m hungry…
