Nanowrimo Start Your Engines

So I have started NanoWrimo.

Nanowrimo is the National Novel Writing Month. Which mean that you have to do Fifty Thousand Word by the end of November. This is about one thousand six hundred and seventy seven words written every day.

I am aiming to do about two thousand to aim high and build up a buffer.

My Nanowrimo Account is AdamDavidCarter1.

I will post with updates to my progress.

Wish Me Luck.

York’s Artisanal Bakery

So I wanted to go to 200 degrees Coffee Shop on Colmore Row. But when i got there is was rammed and had not a single seat free.

I swung round to 3 Threes Coffee shop on Martineu Place. And it was dead. But what really put me off was the place smelled of food but not coffee which i found unnerving. I have become to realise that i have become quite snobby about coffee. Oh well I just hope my bank balance can forgive me.

I thought I’d try the Updated Yorks Bakery near New Street Station. They had expanded in to the into the building next door.

It was also busy.

I made first impression by trying to use the old entrance the Coffee Shop which is no longer used1. Gathering up the tattered remains of my pride I continue my search down the only wall along which I had not travelled. And I found small enterance that seemed a bit to small be a main entrance but no it was the right one. The next thing i found was that 6/8 Kafe was not longer the only Coffee Shop with a Basement in Birmingham. York’s Coffee Shop had imaginatively called ‘York’s Basement’. The decor was rustic wood and artisanal signs. As expected from the business is Yorks Artisan Bakeries  LTD

I ordered a flat white2 and a lovely cake called a ‘Smores Tart’. The Flat white was very nice. Possibly not the best flat I’ve had but leagues ahead of the last coffee I had in there when it was smaller3.

But what was more impressive then the coffee and cake4 was the staff. They remembered what drink I was having and offered to make me a new with out prompting. Which blew me a way.

All in all I shall be return to York.
