Alchemy's Magic
Category: me, 12:48 PM

As promised, my latest article, which will appear in The Column next week. Brede says he's had a great response from the previous article about Ascendancy Point. I've even had a thank-you letter from the Red Hot Bakery to thank me for the nice mention I gave them!

Subject: Making the point

Dear Scarlett,

One of my staff here at the Red Hot Bakery has just drawn my attention to your mention of us in your recent article in The Column. I'd like to thank you for your kind words, and also invite you back, the next time you come to the point; we're putting together a whole new selection of baked goods and we'd love you to be one of the first to try them.

All the best,
Tor

Isn't that lovely! And mmm.... free baked goods.... Anyway, here's next week's offering:

Alchemy's Magic
by Scarlett Kiteway
Those of us who have lived in Perplex City all our lives might feel that we know Alchemy Bay like the backs of our hands after years of family weekends and school outings. Can it really have anything new to offer? The answer, after my recent trip to the Bay, is a resounding yes. Alchemy Bay has spruced itself up and is now the ideal day-trip for the city-dweller longing to swap the roar of traffic for the gentler sound of the waves.

Along with a group of friends, I took a picnic to Alchemy Bay one weekend day. Remembering our childhoods, we'd been expecting a few tired beachfront shops selling icecream and overpriced buckets and spades. But no longer - we needn't have bothered with the picnic at all, given the number of excellent shops and restaurants along the front, selling everything from "catch of the day" cooked to order to selections of fruit brought in fresh from local farms. One deli - The Alchemy Bay Provisions Company - even specialises in pre-packed picnic baskets with all the essentials for a great day out, including sachets of suntan lotion!

But if you're watching your Lecks, bring along a picnic and just enjoy some of the free entertainment on offer along the beach. The magnificent views speak for themselves, and after more than 25 years of city council funding to keep the beach clean, it positively sparkles. The water is clear and perfect for snorkelling in the shallows. Along with this the Alchemy Bay Society sponsors a series of events and performances by local artists on the beach. The day I visited, I was able to take in a puppet show - The Children in the Forest - and listen to guitar music by a local trio. Other events have included an artist's competition, open-air concerts and beach games, including volleyball, for children and adults.

And if you get tired of all that fresh air, or get caught in unseasonable rain, why not head along to the Naval Office's Maritime Museum? You can spend time in its galleries learning about the history of sailing and shipbuilding, or just relax on one of the armchairs in the long Viewing Gallery which looks out to sea.

Varain Bay, further up the coast, may offer better waves for surfers and Cedar Beach greater opportunity for celebrity-spotting, but for an enjoyable, accessible day out you can't beat Alchemy Bay.

Hmm, she seems to have got the date wrong... Wait, it is the 8th, yeah?

Thank you for your email. I do read my emails and will attempt to respond as
quickly as possible to any queries about the Red Hot Bakery, such as opening
hours and menu selections. I'm afraid I can't enter into general correspondence
about the Point; I just produce the baked goods!

Tor

So much for pumping him for info then, unless he regards our questions as more than 'general correspondence'

 		Who knows - perhaps he may know the locals and who likes particular buns. Either that perhaps we can do an order.

Yes I would like 30 Rosemary buns please - location? Earth...

 		That's it! We simply place an order with the Bakery for 'the usual' amount of buns to be delivered to 'the usual' place, and then set someone up as a spy to work out which room within the Point the buns got taken to Smile (or something)

 		Might i suggest we encourage employing Sylvia Salk in the matter? She probably wants to know who is responsible fFor her husband's murder. We know e can contact her brother.


You know .. I like this idea. It's actually pretty sharp, it is!

 		I contacted Tor and he sent me the menu list

Quote:
Dear Moses -

Thanks for your enquiry! We at the Red Hot Bakery certainly are
delighted that our reputation for fine baked goods has spread as far
as Earth. The coriander-lime buns you mention are a particular
favourite with many of our customers. It's only unfortunate that we
can't dispatch any of our products for you to enjoy at home. Since
that's not possible, you might enjoy perusing our menu, which I've
attached.

All the best,
Tor.

Why would PPC have food stuffs named after Earth Countries? (I confess I am ignorant as to whether Danish Pastries actually originated in Denmark so trout me if I'm missing the point? Smile )
