Holiday Breakfasts

Breakfast is a luxury. Most of us are too sleep deprived, too much in a rush for work/school to have a real breakfast but the popular saying is that breakfast is the most important meal and so, in my time of leave, I've had the luxury of multiple opportunities of real breakfast.
