The Anonymous Widower

The Arches Underneath

I had gone to London Fields station to find the E5 Bakehouse, that delivers bread to the pub next door. I hadn’t expected this line of railway arches, that had been creatively turned into small business units.

The E5 Bakehouse has a rather good cafe and I had an excellent cup of tea before moving on.  There was no gluten-free bread or cakes, but there was at the Happy Kitchen.

I bought a cake for later and it was certainly worth the couple of pounds I paid for it. They said it was a bit stale and that they would have some new ones tomorrow, which they were baking for their stall in Broadway Market.

My one problem with the cake, was that if this was a stale one, just how good is a freshly-baked one? I shall go and get another in a few days.

As I look back on my visit to this immaculate row of railway arches, I can imagine C, my late wife, swooning over that bread in the bakehouse and I was almost feeling resentful at being a coeliac.  But then I did have that glorious cake!

Good luck to all, who try to run a business in these difficult times! And especially those, in a small niche market like gluten and everything else free  cakes. Except of course quality!
