A long drive up to Northampton, the home of Smith College. I wanted tot like the town but it was filled with beggars and I just wasn’t expecting that. There were plenty of stores to pop into, many still requiring masks, and we did pop into pick up a few pieces of chocolate at Firetype […]
A short day out. We returned to Green Acres Farm for a few loaves of bread and had a MAGNIFICENT blueberry muffin. This is definitely my favorite baker in the area. Then to take a look at the offerings at the eye-catching church town dairy. I was very happy here, I can’t remember what we […]
