Alexandra’s Bread
Yesterday morning I decided to swing by Alexandra’s Bread to pick up a couple of those highly addictive cobbles for the Bean and Snoop Mad (along with taking some footage for the blog). I haven’t been in there for a while and had forgotten how visually and emotionally pleasing the place is. Between the smells of the bread and sights of beautiful wares on the shelves, the place itself is like a huge collage of beauty.
We’re really lucky to have places like this in Gloucester.
The steamy window must mean there’s baking going on-

Here is the scene at Virgilios which The Mrs said was packed during the Block Party. I love the way the street looks with the lights from the storefronts glowing.
