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.

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.

Yael said...

So simple and so beautiful.

Cro Magnon said...

Exactly that. Nothing special, yet perfect.

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

Sue said...

Just magical.

Cro Magnon said...

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.

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!

Cro Magnon said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

Three out of three!

Cro Magnon said...

I always join in; being half Welsh (and an ex Rugby player), I am a fervent supporter.

Cro Magnon said...

Me too Jacqueline.... I'd miss it all if it wasn't there.

Gwil W said...

Croeso Cro!

Cro Magnon said...

Diolch.

Jane Karwat said...

Just a big sigh. What a beautiful drive.

Cro Magnon said...

Yes, it's lovely around here; and VERY quiet too.

libby said...

Lovely house....and nothing beats a slice of freshly buttered good bread.

Cro Magnon said...

We had some for lunch with Paté. Nothing better.

The Weaver of Grass said...

That bread looks so good I don't think it would last me a day let alone a week Cro.

Cro Magnon said...

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).

gz said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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.

Cro Magnon said...

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.
