Deli's Hot Cross Bun

We rode to Thorner to check out Post Box Deli.  Sarah had hot cross buns on her mind.   It happened again,  as soon as I walked in an empty shop, queue started forming, and I feel pressured to be quick.  I did not get to study the products in the fridge, neither were they well labelled.  I asked for some hot cross buns and pork pies and left, I didn't even get a receipt.

I don't eat hot cross buns, so I cannot tell if they were good.  Sarah tried to describe, but I would not understand, they were bigger, and prettier than the ones from Sainsbury's, but those from Sainsbury's looked worse than normal.  Only after I checked the bank statement and found out they cost £2, for 4 buns!  Compare with Sainsbury's and Tesco's 85p for 6, even the "Extra Special" supermarket ones are 4 for £1, so these "family bakery" ones better be good!

I looked up where Post Box Deli got their bread, I think they got them from Orton's "Family Bakers" in LS9, except Orton's is actually not Orton's anymore, as they sold up a couple years ago.  Strange times.
