Re:Bread shops and flying home today

[Guest guest]

Of course you can't send DH out to buy Jewish bread on Saturdays Akiko

)

Creme de la Creme in Bridge Lane Golders Green is as close to a

genuine French patisserie as you are going to get. It's run by French

people and their baguettes and petit pains are wonderful. And, like

the real thing, once they've sold out for the day, which is usually by

12 noon, that's it. Also they sell gorgeous pastries and mousse

cakes.

Flying home today, a tad nervous as usual, maybe a bit more so. I know

you don't *have* to comment on any posting, and I am not whining

*REALLY* !!!! but I did put a lot of thought and care into the

description of our feelings having visited Ground Zero, and I only had

one (offlist) comment about it. Is everyone still miffed at me for

being ghoulish? It was an extremely moving experience, one I am

unlikely to forget and being ghoulish was the last thing on my mind in

that strange, eerie atmosphere.

I thought your posting about your visit to Ground Zero was very

sensitive, Ruthie, but I did not respond as I read it quite late just

before I was off to bed. Hope the flight home is OK and you're not

too nervous!

Take care,

Francesca

Have a good, safe journey home Ruthie!

I did sit down to reply to your Ground Zero message yesterday but didn't

know what to say. I know that if I was in NYC, I'd go to pay my respects as

well. I thought your message was very moving and brought it home to me how

many people died. Strangely, I read your message shortly before going to

bed and then had dreams of the WTC disaster - I was there in the dream and

it wasn't nice.

On another note, I know that news of the aircrash on Monday reported that

there were 246 people on board plus crew. I read last night that in

addition there were 5 unticketed infants sitting on parents laps, which

upset me terribly. I flew only last week with my baby on my lap............

No - neither am I Ruthie. It's good to have such a sensitive report

to read - I am never likely to go anywhere near America, so all I

have to go on are newspaper reports. Your report was thought-

provoking and upsetting, but that doesn't mean I like you any the

less for it - on the contrary, it was extremely brave of you to

report back at all Do hope your flight was safe, and welcome back!

Thanks to all of you. I *hoped* it came across as sensitive, but one

never knows, does one?

You won't believe where I am emailing from... the BA economy class

waiting area in JFK, has a laptop connection centre which is free for

local access, offering power and phone points. As I have a free NY

dialup account set up by a friend, I am able to access the net from

here Cool, no?

HUGS to all.

Not wanting to state the obvious or anything, but if you thought people

were going to be miffed at you for your post, you really shouldn't have

sent it. Safe to say that if anyone had been miffed they would have

totally ignored you, sent you a private email or in extreme cases

unsubscribed from the list - not everyone likes to post this sort of stuff

to the list, but to deal with it in a more appropriate manner. And there's

absolutely no need to assume that " everyone " is miffed at you; I don't know

what gives you this impression.

Have a safe trip home.

Not at all - at least, not here anyway.

I found your description superb (wrong word, but can't think of a

better one) - I could have been there - made me shiver, but there was

nothing I could add.

I imagine so, but you need at least two challos per meal on a Sabbath,

so I don't think it would make enough.
