The Laboratory

Christmas treats! We made a final (slightly drizzly) trip to London to see some art (at the slug-laden Tate) and visit Scandinavian Kitchen for special saffron Semlor buns. Adam also spotted Marzipan that makes him want to take a special trick to Lubeck, the home of marzipan in Germany. Sarah trated herself to a melty snowman cookie in Pret.

Here's a find from the Finnish Christmas Fair we visited in November. All the Scandi fairs are great, with present ideas and food and drink gifts galore.

Every year we love to spend our time (and our pennies) at the fantastic fairs run by Scandinavian churches in London. Do join us buying food, drink, gifts and decorations from our Scandi friends!
