Should I reopen the happy place cafe?

I'm often awake in the night, today was a lie in for me, only properly awake since 4am.

In lockdown I opened, 'the happy place café where I would make virtual breakfasts and people would come to chat.

When it was last opened my French pastry chef Florence had married Fernando the cocktail waiter.

The kitten bees are inside because it is too old but the bumble cats are in the garden as usual.

SO should I reopen or was just something for lockdown?

Churros with the chocolate brandy dip for me please. I'll sit in the garden as the bulbs are looking fabulous.

The next batch of churros is almost ready , Fernando has got a really thick hot chocolate to go with them .

Now if we could just keep the kitten bees out of the sugar , go on shoo shooo

Should I reopen the happy place cafe?

I must have dozed off there. Thanks for the book recommendations!
Churros for breakfast sounds very indulgent. Think I could do with a strong americano or two to go with it

ScottBakula · 02/03/2023 07:03

Careful @Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket they are still hot
