I have been trying to make bread on and off for the last twenty years without much success. The results have mostly ranged between solid and unbelievably solid. All have been frankly inedible.
But thanks to my new best friend; the demi-god that is Paul Hollywood, Saturday saw the creation of a loaf worthy of any table. Most was consumed with butter and cheese while still warm from the oven.
While on the subject of making stuff, I found a beer kit tin in the shed last week. It has no lable and I have no recollection of buying it. So I added a kilo of Spray Malt and started it brewing. It looks quite a dark one and smells very 'hoppy'. It will be interesting to taste the results.
On a sad note, one of my favorite trees in Cambridge has suffered in the recent winds and has split in half.
This is what it looked like in the New Year.
