"She carries too, the little bag of macaroons on which she nibbles"

On a sunny Sun-day, Joshua and I ventured out to town dressed in our finest spring attire, as the sun was warm and our faces beaming. We were looking for something wonderful and indulgent. We thought it would be a lovely addition to our many collections for our 'glory box'.  Little did we think that something as little as Macaroons would be the highlight of our day out to town. To many macaroons maybe far to sugary & colourful. But to me they do mean oh so much! They're gluten free which is just so special its a little slice of my coeliac heaven- I may or may not have indulged in three. But most of all they remind me of my favourite thing in year 11- English Lit. Haha yes I know you may have spat tea at your screen in a dramatic WHAT! but I loved many of the texts I got to explore in year 11 and one of my favourites was 'A Dolls House' by Henrik Ibsen. Nora the main character carries around a little bag of macaroons and nibbles secretly throughout the day. Its her little indulgence in a bleak life. I loved the idea of them being such a treat and was fascinated by them. I asked my teacher rather naively what a macaroon was and he promised to bring us some if we did well in the assignment! Well yes I did try my very first macaroon and wanted to saver every moment. I knew why Nora carried a bag of them! 


So after a wonder and need for some food I came across a delightful cafe- Cimbalino and took advantage of their little collection of Macaroons. I had a blueberry and orange, lemon and lime and a ferrero roche. They were just lovely and perfect for a sun-day afternoon treat, and  Joshua also enjoyed them he did a lot of 'helping' to sample the macaroons. I think we'll be visiting town for my little bag of treats very soon.
