The house just behind my baker.
The road on the way home.
The bread.
My regular Sunday morning activity; to buy bread for the week.
A Thoughtful Way Home

My shoulder was aching at work today and I asked a member of staff if she
could rub it for me.
This she kindly did with some banter talk about her regular ...

Oh my goodness, what a lovely trip to the bakery.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely trip and delicious looking bread.
The bread is the best bit. Good fresh Sourdough.
DeleteSo simple and so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteExactly that. Nothing special, yet perfect.
DeleteIt is an amazing drive but what is even more amazing is the bread that is still ok to eat after a week
ReplyDeleteWe buy sourdough now and it's ok for 3 days but then gets rather dry and tough to eat. K who is a traditional Greek thinks it's fine
His mother baked bread about twice a month.
My own sourbread is ok for 2 days but dries out fast.
Your first loaf o can imagine disappears fast. Looks wonderful
We cut each loaf in half, freeze three halves, then take them out as we need them. They stay perfectly fresh. There is also a local soup called 'tourin', which uses stale bread, so nothing is ever wasted.
DeleteJust magical.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you know the route like the back of Paul's hand. One of your cycle roads, I imagine.
DeleteThe house behind looks almost like a chateau.
ReplyDeleteIt has a lovely old, blue-washed, Pigeon tower attached. It's where I got the design for my bird pinnacles.
DeleteI love the photo of the road.....that would have to be on my wall !
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautiful at the moment. Lots of colour and lots of leaves by the roadside.
DeleteNice looking house. Nice looking street. Nice looking bread.
ReplyDeleteThree out of three!
Delete'Bread of Heaven' as we say in Wales at the rugby. It also reminds me of school. A regular hit in assembly!
ReplyDeleteI always join in; being half Welsh (and an ex Rugby player), I am a fervent supporter.
DeleteCroeso Cro!
DeleteDiolch.
DeleteHouse, road, bread envy !!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteMe too Jacqueline.... I'd miss it all if it wasn't there.
DeleteJust a big sigh. What a beautiful drive.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's lovely around here; and VERY quiet too.
DeleteLovely house....and nothing beats a slice of freshly buttered good bread.
ReplyDeleteWe had some for lunch with Paté. Nothing better.
DeleteThat bread looks so good I don't think it would last me a day let alone a week Cro.
ReplyDeleteWe are so fortunate to have such a baker in a nearby tiny village. She keeps the two loaves specially for me on Sundays.
DeleteI walked through a birch wood in the pouring rain this morning and still felt elated and happy (and grateful for modern breathable waterproofs).
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy Autumn, and try not to think of the approaching Winter. Chestnut is temperamental; one year it can be glorious, the next quite dull. This is a good year.
Deletelovely things to show us..thankyou!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm baking sourdough bread I wrap the baked loaf in a linen (or cotton) teatowel...it doesn't dry out so fast,and keeps well for a week
Our 'bread bin' has a lining of linen, but an extra wrapping sounds wise. I'll try it and see if it makes much difference. Thanks.
