My bag full of sweet treats
Over a year later and I finally found another store. Whilst shopping for a birthday present for my Dad, which I still haven't bought, I found it nestled on the corner of a street where I'm sure it's been for ages and I've probably never noticed. Being slightly stressed from shopping on a Saturday, having 4 children and an OH with me and still thinking that I still have 39 days until back to school I decided I needed cake.
As I stood in the queue I was torn. After having been to my Slimming World meeting on Wednesday myself and my friend had vowed to really get back on track with our weight loss yet at the same time the cake was calling me. They looked scrummy and I had been looking for this shop for over a year. I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by!
So I made my purchase. I carefully carried them around the shops making sure they got home in one piece until I had a chance to sit in peace and devour them. I've yet to hear the peace and quiet but whilst Thing 2 and 3 were out playing I snuggled with Thing 4 in front of the Lego Movie and we shared a huge slice of double chocolate gateaux. It was extremely scrummy and I let Thing 4 have more than I did!
Double chocolate gateaux with profiterole on top. Ideal for sharing with Thing 4 as we snuggled.

Let's just say that it's a good thing that this shop isn't close by as it may just be my favourite shop over the school holidays. My waistline wouldn't agree though, or my Slimming World consultant!
Can't beat some good cake! I'll have to look out for Patisserie Valerie in future!
