The Moral of the Story...

... is that kindness breeds kindness, even on a bad day. This is a madeline that was given by two people who I let visit the church for free (my goodness I hope Sebastien isn't reading this!) because they'd really made me laugh and I understand what it's like to be young with no money! The day was terrible, I made quite a few errors with the till, it was very busy, Sebastien wasn't there and basically belittled everything I'd managed to get done as he always does (now I really hope he's not reading this!!) and I'd just had enough. But the little gesture of the madeline and a quiet sit in the chapel restored by faith in human nature.

In the evening I went to dinner at Mathilde's with Ludovic and Elsa and had a really really lovely evening. Peppers stuffed with ham, quinoa and olives, then strawberries and cream and a cup of tea in a Whittard's mug, I've rarely been so excited by a cup of tea! Mathilde really is lovely, and her boyfriend too. The difference between my shyness here, and my slightly dimished shyness this evening was pleasing!
