Cloudberry jam isn't so easy to come by: cloudberries grow in the wild in northern Scandinavia, must be picked by hand, and are difficult to transport. But luckily, this year, my favorite jam is being made and sold by my favorite bakery, Bageriet, tucked away on Rose Street in Covent Garden:

The perfect Saturday in London starts with a strong black filter coffee and sockerkringlor (sugar pretzel) at one of Bageriet's two cosy tables:

We keep meaning to come at lunch to try the smoked salmon sandwiches, but we never seem to be able to hold out that long!
