A £9 baguette in Dunkeld (wtf). A walk as the weather set in. The snow makes everything so peaceful. Thank God for thermals.

Just double-checked and our typical 1000g artisanal sourdough is C$8, which is not bad.

Arguably the wonderful vistas to and from your bakery are worth the awe tax.

@DenOfEarth Oh this was like a 8 inch baguette with some thinly spread nduja, sprinkle of rocket, tiny bit of chorizo and cheese in it. It's extraordinarily expensive for a sandwich here, although everything is getting expensive. I think it's the equivalent of $12.

Oh it was a baguette sandwich! That's still on par with prices here. A decent 8" chicken sub could be between C$12 and C$15, by which I mean Canadian dollars, or about £7-£9.

@DenOfEarth I feel like maybe I am really old but £9 for a mediocre sandwich shocks me. I am shooketh.

@kristiedegaris I bought a demi-baguette at the supermarket here in Dol-de-Bretagne for .35 Euros yesterday. Come to France, land of cheap, good bread and cheese and wine.

@kristiedegaris I was in Dunkeld last year. Didn't have to put up with any snow as I circled the Cairngorms. Almost wish it had, though, as the photos would have been great.

Oh, nearly forgot in the price rant, nice pictures.
You've done that before I suspect 😃

£9?
I sincerely hope it was the best baguette you have ever eaten!

@maxheadroom No, they're on the big camera which I cradled like a baby to protect it from the snow. Nikon Z7
