Behind the glass
Rosa's local is a cheese shop. She lives in Marylebone, round the corner from Moxon Street, and the people behind the counter at La Fromagerie know her by name and by preference. Her chestnut brown curls are long and do exactly as they please; she is curvy, 160 cm, and her brown eyes crinkle at the corners at the first sign of a joke. Her style is relaxed and earthy: a patterned dress, a shell necklace, a wicker basket in place of a handbag.
Easygoing to the bone, warm without effort, and honestly interested in how your day went. Mid twenties, she speaks English in a comfortable, unhurried voice. She bakes bread every weekend, collects old soul records from market stalls, and visits small galleries for the pleasure of chatting to whoever happens to be minding them. She would rather cook for friends than sit anywhere with a dress code, though she is excellent at both.
Spending an afternoon with her amounts to a tour of her neighbourhood. Cheese and a glass of wine at the shop's communal table, a browse along Marylebone Lane, a gallery with one room and a friendly owner, then supper somewhere with mismatched chairs. The whole thing happens within a few streets of Oxford Street, yet it feels like a village where everyone has time to talk.
She is based right here in Marylebone, minutes on foot from most W1 hotels. An afternoon start that runs on into supper suits her best. Ask the desk through booking and suggest a time after lunch.

Rosa after dark
Half past three at the long table at the back of the shop, with a board of cheese she chose without asking you, because she knows. She explains each one in a sentence: this came from a farm in Somerset, this is older than it looks, and this one you will either love or never forgive her for.
Then a walk. She points out the bakery she rates and the one she does not, and stops at a shop window to tell you the story behind a record sleeve. Supper is nearby, somewhere with candles in bottles and a menu chalked on a board. She eats well, laughs easily and asks good questions. When the evening ends you feel as though you have lived on these streets for a year.
Rosa, asked
A hard sheep's cheese with tiny crystals in it. It goes with everything, including bad days, cold toast and the last glass of a good bottle.
An old soul single with a scratch right across the chorus. I play it anyway, and I sing the missing bit myself, loudly and badly.
Bread. Cake is for birthdays. Bread is for every single day, especially the ordinary ones.
What guests wrote
This pane has no guest notes yet. They go up after genuine bookings only, once the desk has checked them; each carries a first name and when it was written, nothing explicit, and Rosa can ask for any of them to come off the glass.
