I have an upcoming fave shop that is new in town. In the past, I had to travel south of the border to the nearest shop (which was okay because the locations are near other shops and fave places). Now, I pick up the shop on my way to another job. Such a deal-- the fee and reimbursement feed two people, keep my kitchen clean on a work/work/work day, and I get a kick out of the place.
My garden in England is full of eating-out places, for heat waves, warm September evenings, or lunch on a chilly Christmas morning. (Mary Quant)
