In the Blackheath village shop

There is a Nicolas, selling french vines in the Village, and some for not much, they call it "petits récoltes", less famous harvests.

I was amused by their different colors and etiquettes, looking "house made" more then other, or perhaps instead of not famous it does mean that people do just a few of them, having not much place for the raisins?

I did not enter, but now I am wondering.

Anyway, I found also "boulangerie" so if I wanted french bred or croissants or cakes, I'll find it there. Also, for the moment, as I am on the Weight Watcher's and try to lose more weight, I do buy whole meal bred or rye. Or even sweedish.

And of course, I do not enter Madame Chocolat boutique in the village, as much as I like it, that is a no no for the moment for me.

Near the station, there is also another shop with croissants and other goodies like that and of course, the french restaurant. A lot, I think for a small "village" center. But then, of course, Blackheath Village is not really a village...

  1. Nicolas is a great shop. The young French men who work there are usually very friendly, very helpful and very knowledgeable. Go in next time!
