The Parlour - Toffeeccino


As she was tired from walking and it was cold outside, she went into a wonderous place called The Parlour and ordered a magical elixir called Toffeeccino.




Then, it arrived - the Toffeeccino, coffee and milk topped with rich cream and toffee drizzle with a serving of butterscotch flavoured frozen cream on the side in a little wafer cone. It was a beautiful sight to behold, and it was gloriously hers all alone.



As she popped the little cone with butterscotch flavoured frozen cream into her mouth, thoughts of happiness came to her mind.
She remembered the time when she sat at the steps of a church in Venice with her sister having Italian frozen flavoured cream, and the times when she and her friends went to have flavoured frozen cream after school and best of all, the times where her mother said she could buy frozen cream from the man with the bell.




Next, she lifted the little spoon that came with the Toffeeccino and dipped it into cream and toffee to create a little hole.
Then she lifted the cup to her nose to inhale the aroma of the coffee, and tipped the cup slowly pouring the content into her mouth. As the comfortable warmth of the coffee and milk swirled around her mouth, contrasted with the cool rich cream, she sighed. It was heavenly and each sip reminded her of a different happy memory, of family and friends, and her adventures around the world, all the way back to the time that her mother allowed her to try coffee for the first time.
