Tony Francavilla is one of my local bakers. Daily he gives out free bread and cakes to customers as goodwill. I recently asked Tony for a job, but nothing was going. When I went to buy some bread, Tony asked me if I'd found work and what did I do for a profession. When I told him I write, he gave me some free rolls and scones, and exclaimed, "You have to look after the writers!"
I explained Tony's care for a struggling writer to one of my closest friends 'The Wholesome Traveller', whose parents are from Latvia. 'The Wholesome Traveller' has travelled around the world and explained to me that in Europe the culture supports creative people as the Europeans understand that the creative souls are essential for nourishing and developing their society and culture.
So maybe Tony's shop is an entry point for goodwill and a caring attitude towards us creative people...or maybe it's a dancefloor?
