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
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.
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
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.

Oh my goodness, what a lovely trip to the bakery.
cheers, parsnip and badger
What a lovely trip and delicious looking bread.
Especially nice at the moment with all the leaves turning colour.
The bread is the best bit. Good fresh Sourdough.
So simple and so beautiful.
Exactly that. Nothing special, yet perfect.

Just magical.

I'm sure you know the route like the back of Paul's hand. One of your cycle roads, I imagine.
The house behind looks almost like a chateau.
I love the photo of the road.....that would have to be on my wall !
Nice looking house. Nice looking street. Nice looking bread.
'Bread of Heaven' as we say in Wales at the rugby. It also reminds me of school. A regular hit in assembly!
It has a lovely old, blue-washed, Pigeon tower attached. It's where I got the design for my bird pinnacles.
House, road, bread envy !!! XXXX
It's really beautiful at the moment. Lots of colour and lots of leaves by the roadside.
Three out of three!
I always join in; being half Welsh (and an ex Rugby player), I am a fervent supporter.
Me too Jacqueline.... I'd miss it all if it wasn't there.
Croeso Cro!
Diolch.
Just a big sigh. What a beautiful drive.
Yes, it's lovely around here; and VERY quiet too.
Lovely house....and nothing beats a slice of freshly buttered good bread.
We had some for lunch with Paté. Nothing better.
That bread looks so good I don't think it would last me a day let alone a week Cro.
We are so fortunate to have such a baker in a nearby tiny village. She keeps the two loaves specially for me on Sundays.
I walked through a birch wood in the pouring rain this morning and still felt elated and happy (and grateful for modern breathable waterproofs).
lovely things to show us..thankyou!

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.
