In the age of Amazon, we must support them, lest we get lost in the world of “chains”. The UK has too many High Streets and shopping districts already which are indistinguishable from one another. I am all for the convenience of big retail, but we must support variety in all its idiosyncrasies, as well.

And Carter is extremely handsome.

Thank you for your profiles of entrepreneurs like these.

I will plan to visit the shop when I am in London in September!

Linda Granfield, thank you for the link!! Now I want crusty bread and olive oil… for breakfast (it’s morning in the US).

I’m off for a lightbulb, some pomegranate molasses and of course some of that marvellous olive oil.

(well, the edible shop supplies, that is.)

Plus a cat named Carter. If I lived nearby, I’d already be on my way to buy some of this great food and greet Carter.

I’m very happy to say that a bottle (well half a bottle full now) of their delicious olive oil graces my kitchen. I’ve enjoyed their candied walnuts and pomegranate molasses too. I need to restock my kitchen so plan to revisit Embassy Electrical Supplies soon. Hopefully I’ll meet Carter one day too.
