The Bread is Better Than Ever

The premise is simple….come up with a title for a post using only six words.

For over a year now we’ve been back to bread baking at Montgomery’s Inn. It’s all run by volunteers. On Thursday three of us go in and warm up the outdoor oven for the next day’s bake and prepare four to five batches of bread dough. On Wednesday, five of us do a variety of jobs to get ready for the afternoon Farmers’ Market where the bread is sold. We make two batches of sour dough bread and sometimes focaccia, get fire started to heat up the oven, shape the bread, let it rise and then put it into the oven to bake.

All the money that is made from the sales goes back into buying more supplies and funding projects at the Inn.

Water, Water Everywhere….The Thames

In London you can’t help but see the Thames if you travel south to the downtown area and if you’re crossing a bridge it is more than likely across the Thames.
