The palpitations in your sweater-clad chest and the cold sweat tickling your brow may be due to a surfeit of mince pies. Or it might be the creeping realisation that your cupboards and stockings are not yet stocked... and, with our postal system in meltdown and just hours before our trains head the same way, time is against you. Wipe away the sweat. Breathe deeply and calm your hurried heart. All is not lost. On Christmas Eve our bakeries, Bread and Wine and Marylebone too will be open and heaving with pastries, bursting with bottles of wine and Fergroni, stuffed with tea towels, ash trays, t-shirts and tote bags, and laden with mince pies. And at Bread and Wine, for all of you braving the last minute shopping dash, we have an exciting return: our famous Bacon Sandwich is back, tomorrow only, for takeaway only. The most glorious gift to yourself, to steady you through the final furlong. You can find our festive opening hours via the link in our bio. “May your tables and glasses be full of good things, and your holiday be jolly.” From Trevor and Fergus, captured here by @samaharris.
