21. Maedisa Bakery

The Bakery smells lusciously of yeasty bread. The most wonderful smell is coming from the open shop, the smell of fresh baked bread. It is a good sized shop that serves the entire township. Heat pours out of it into the market square, with big bright pained windows showing sweet cakes, pastries and loaf's of fresh bread. This busy shop has brown shingles and clean yellow and blue stripped Awning With A Bell On The White Washed Oak Door. Outback is a large bread oven.   You enter the Bakery Shop and see that inside, the small wooden building is reasonably tidy. The shopkeep is rolling a think puffy ball of dough onto a wood slab, raises a hand with a wave, and walks to you, and introduces herself as Maedisa Hill, the proud owner of the Maedisa Bakery, and asks what she can do for you. Maedisa does not seem to belong there, and looks very uncomfortable.
