A Tale of Two Vans



Photo on the right is an iconic Tumblr/Pinterest favourite of Les Petit Francois Boulangerie. So cute. Photo on the left is a baker on a small island who has just had to stuff 1500 pounds of flour into a very small  Suzuki because his truck has broken down and it is still not fixed after 4 very long weeks.  So cute. Not.

I'm still working in the bakery shop. I still have not really got any better at it. William was home for the week with a viral flu. He literally does not stop chirriping away for one second, so when I was trying to catch up on the accounts in the 5 minutes of down time we had during the day, he was busy reading me sections out of his little book that he found hilarious and I did not. Poor little thing got shouted at quite a bit. It was a long week but we got through it. The flour arrived. We even got to dress up for a glam 50th Birthday party and I managed to find some sparkly high-heeled shoes. The bakery was also gratifyingly busy.

We did however have a few ominously hot days to remind us that 'Le Brutal Ete' is just around the corner.

I bet you Le Petit Boulanger-person on the right also had a grumpy wife with sick kids stuck up in a garret in the 6th Arrondisement also carping on to her ami's about the stupid van and her swollen feet at the end of the day and the price of packaging.

Any chance photo of the baker's van on the left going viral on Pinterest?
