Craving Cachao

Maybe it is this dreary weather or the crisp air, but something today has me craving a Panini and take away cappuccino from a fine little eatery that my beau introduced me to about three and a half years ago in London town. The owner’s name is Jennie and her family’s shop is located in Primrose Hill, which might be might be my favorite hill of all the hills. This is partially because on the few coveted days that London’s skies are clear, the sights are breathtaking, complete with views of the Eye (giant Ferris wheel) and the city skyline. The other reason is because I finished reading the last Harry Potter on that hill. Chris recorded at a hidden studio that Coldplay recorded in and that is how he originally stumbled onto this delightful nook. A nook it is. . . it is tiny and spills out onto the sidewalk, which is great for people watching and reading the paper. It couples as a very fun gift shop full of silly treasures. This place, accompanied with Jennie’s sweet hospitality, makes Cachao an absolute must every time we bop across the pond. If you go, tell her we said, "Howdy, from her fans in Texas!"

I suppose I will have to settle for a cup of London tea, kp
