They may not be mountain peaks but these spires, monuments and cranes look like peaks from a distance and certainly ‘peak’ your attention.

The Bread is Better Than Ever
…thanks to Debbie for hosting Six Word Saturday https://travelwithintent.com/2024/06/08/old-radar-station-now-strikingly-decorated/?blogid=45569860&blogsub=subscribed#subscribe-blog
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
…thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2024/06/08/spiers-wharf-for-water-water-everywhere-222-2/
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.

Tuesday Textures – From the Barbican
…art made with textiles has the most amazing textures
On our recent trip to London, we stopped at the Barbican to see the show, Unravel: The Power of Politics of Textiles in Art. The first thing we saw was the exterior of the gallery cloaked in fabric.
Inside the gallery over 100 artists had works of textile art on display. Many of the pieces were very textural which was quite evident from a distance and others made for wonderful close-up shots of the detail in the pieces.
