Baker · the café by the square

Mairi

Mairi runs the bakery and café by the town square. She is practical, welcoming and good at remembering what people like.

“Let’s plan what we need before we plan what goes in the bin.”

What she’s known for

Getting things done. When Eddie gives a repaired noticeboard a grand unveiling, Mairi has put the useful information on it before he finishes his speech.

Her tip for home

Before you shop, check what’s already in the cupboard. Then buy what you’ll really use.
