French Croissants and Coffee


I'm a huge fan of croissants and coffee. When I saw these signs in Russell 2 years ago I had to take a photo just to remember the beautiful sunny summer's day. They are advertising the little coffee house at Pompallier House, where the first printery in the country was back in the 1800s. It was also a tannery and home to the missionary belonging to Bishop Jean Baptiste Pompallier.

Halloween came and went for us, we had one trick or treater and my daughter R gave the little girl all the lollies we had so the look of awe and surprise was worth it. We have moved into the new house and are just focussing on unpacking, the dust from the boxes has given me a sinus infection but hopefully I will be back at work tomorrow.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's signs.

Great location for this shop. Best views of the bay has a nice ring to it.

...I would go for the view of the bay.

The sign looks fantastic as it is what I look for in every morning for breakfast. The sky is quite pleasant too

Unfortunately, the cafe was closed when I visited there. I loved the little village though, and would happily visit again if I ever get the opportunity.

I'm not a coffee drinker but the croissant sound like a great idea.

One girl for Halloween, sounds familiar ;-)
Hope you are fit again soon.
I think I know nobody who does not love croissants!

I've had sinus infections. Not fun to deal with.

Croissants, coffee and a good book to read would be nice to enjoy at that site you posted. Sending thoughts and prayers that the sinus infection will go away soon. We only had six trick or treat at our home.

Fresh pastries and coffee in that surrounding. Hard to beat that.

Hope you didn´t loose (m)any of your stuff while moving.
