We read about a small, community supported cottage bakery in the nearby town of Scituate which is right on the coast. It sounded like a place we would be interested in trying. They specialize in naturally leavened sourdough bread and pastries, with an emphasis on using whole grains and seasonal ingredients.

We had packed small trays, coffee in a thermos and mugs. So, we went directly to the marshy shore to eat those sticky buns in the sun.

When we finished we did go for a nice walk along the marsh, perhaps walking off some calories. I'm sure we will order again and again.
The weekend has been a lovely change from the steam boiler and cellar woes. Estimates and workers will be in and out all next week, so it was good to have had a change of pace in the salt air.
