Barbados, November 2011

A coastal scene with large rocks in the water, a sandy path along the shore, lush greenery, palm trees, and a few buildings under a cloudy sky.

My sister-in-law has a PacMan coat. 👌🏻

A camel-colored coat features two fuzzy brown pockets each decorated with a pair of large, cartoonish eyes.

Morning coffee feels very festive today.

A white cup and saucer filled with a hot beverage is placed on a wooden surface in front of a decorated Christmas tree adorned with tinsel, ornaments, and a nutcracker.

New coffee shop, new part of London. Oh, the consultancy life.

A cozy café interior with customers seated and a barista preparing drinks behind a wooden counter adorned with festive string lights.

Five years ago today:

Several reserved seats with name tags are visible in the foreground, while a sparsely occupied auditorium with a few people seated in the background can be seen.

10 years ago today.

The word NORD is engraved on a stone building facade topped with two classical statues against a clear blue sky.

Not what you want to see outside your favourite coffee shop in the morning…

A white van labeled Coffee Doctor is parked in front of a café named Tom Foolery with a wooden bench placed nearby.

Open.

A white building with a blue shield emblem on the side and communication antennas on the roof is shown against a cloudy sky.

Peak hipster.

A bearded man with a topknot hairstyle is looking down while standing next to a window, accompanied by text about a philosophy graduate turned artisan baker who founded the Bara Menyn Bakehouse.
