...fancy meeting in 2015 some time in the London Review of Books cakeshop?

I'm fed up of our lovely American friends having all the actual physical meetings.

The Cake Shop’s coffee is made by trained baristas using Monmouth Espresso Blend. The current recipe uses Fazenda Santa Ines (Brazil) as the base, adding Finca Buena Vista (Colombia) for high notes and complexity, and Finca Las Nubes (Guatemala) for a cocoa depth.

Sounds complicated.

I mean, I quite like biscuits. Just, you know - can take them or leave them.

Plus at that place I'd rather have cake.

Can we get all of you into a VW Bug?

Or a telephone booth. One of those red British ones to make it legit.

I fill a telephone kiosk on my own. But it would be more enjoyable with these:

Bookshops are a dangerous place for me, but I'll definitely be visiting http://www.bookcasecarlisle.co.uk/
I always go there when in England. Not sure I want to go all the way to London.

You didn't say 'that London'!

Call yourself East Anglian! But, you know, I'd babysit for you. You could tell me all about it later while I ran around after your kids in desperation.

Or, as Ogg suggested to me, there is no reason it has to be based in London. I just love the LRB cakeshop. But I could learn to love somewhere else.

Same here. I made an exception for Kate Bush though.

The obvious place would be Hay on Wye. But we'd need vans to carry our purchases.

If the weather turns to shit, how long does it take to move all those books inside?

 

[DesEsseintes]

I know that Fata and I at least go to Hay on Wye anyway sometimes. I would absolutely be up for Hay.
