A lady who works in a bakery with such beautiful almond-shaped eyes as Mrs Round, is sure to know where to find the poem, on trouve souvent une poeme dans nos baguettes! 🥖💫
I see that Letter #7 is your little “baguettetelle.” Bad pun, I know, but I can’t wait until your young protagonist finds that poem and his fish is feeling better!
Richard that is so kind. I would have to be a lot better -- also write a children's book. I hadn't thought of doing that as I'm finishing a pretty complex novel--but maybe I will. I do thank you for the encouragement.
Now, why do I think your granddaughter does not write back so frequently?
Your watercolor is charming, Mary.
I can visualize poor Arthur scratching his head, wondering, why no poem? But then, there's the smell, if not the taste, of that French bread fresh from the oven, and that thought of a poem just vanishes. Will he leave with a baguette in hand? Perhaps a slice or two will be his version of a poem? (Hint: no, he's got places to go.)
Love the characters' names: Mrs. Round and Ms. Point.
Yum, the perfect French bread. A thin crispy crust on the outside, light and slightly chewy on the inside. Preferably, right out of the oven, golden goodness. Love the painting, Arthur’s sweet face. I think I’ll bake a loaf today.
Can't wait!
Fresh-baked bread improves every situation.
For sure: also rugalch! I've written about this elsewhere but will post here when the first set of letter are done!

Ah, yes, though will Arthur be sure about what Mrs. Round says? We'll see!
Lovely - and my favourite illustration so far.
Oh, Isabelle, I'm always so moved when you comment.

Me too, Raphael. and I love the pun on bagatelle.
There is definitely poetry in a bakery. I can smell the prose now.
Cute comment!
Mary you should have a book with your art.

Mary this kind of work is its own perfection. It can't get better

Loved doing this. Didn't expect any letters back: busy camper. Will explain at the end what happened to all the letters.
I will look forward to that!

Oh, how lovely, Lor. Why not post a photo in NOTES of your bread. Folks will love that.
