To buy bread.



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.

  4. It is an amazing drive but what is even more amazing is the bread that is still ok to eat after a week
    We 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

    1. 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.

    1. I'm sure you know the route like the back of Paul's hand. One of your cycle roads, I imagine.

  6. The house behind looks almost like a chateau.

    1. It has a lovely old, blue-washed, Pigeon tower attached. It's where I got the design for my bird pinnacles.

    1. It's really beautiful at the moment. Lots of colour and lots of leaves by the roadside.

  9. 'Bread of Heaven' as we say in Wales at the rugby. It also reminds me of school. A regular hit in assembly!

    1. We are so fortunate to have such a baker in a nearby tiny village. She keeps the two loaves specially for me on Sundays.

  14. I walked through a birch wood in the pouring rain this morning and still felt elated and happy (and grateful for modern breathable waterproofs).

    1. I 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.

  15. lovely things to show us..thankyou!
    When 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

    1. 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.
