Jour des Croissants

An entire day devoted to everybody's favorite rolled, leavened variant of puff pastry - the elegant, the dainty, the saturated fat filed, Croissant. Has ever a snack had a sillier name?

It was pretty much a continental version of pie day here. Emma kindly remembered croissants and jam and distributed them generously. I could get used to this. Dave rather controversially produced a bagel, though, to give him his credit, he did eat both bagel and croissant.

James has apparently stopped off at Tescos to buy his entire form class croissants - that's 30. Fortunately, there's a sale on.

Amazing: Blackburn with Darwen Primary Care Trust celebrate Croissant Day in the usual fashion.
