Safety Alert - Maybe??
Please excuse my paranoia as I may easily be overreacting. However something happened this afternoon that hasn’t happened before and given the increased levels of robberies etc that occur at this time I thought it reasonable to alert you all.
We live down a back section in Regents Park. Mid afternoon a well dressed woman knocked on our door. I enquired how I could help and she said she was here to collect some candles. I asked her what address and she gave our address. I asked her who she was collecting them from. There was a vague answer that she didn’t know who. She said the person said it was from Casebrook and that they were making candles. She then quietly walked away. Too late I thought about following her down the drive to see what she did next.
As I said in may be paranoid or overreacting or not but the general vagueness and uncertainty had a sense of her casing our area. Has anyone else experienced this? Be safe. 😀
Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
