Myself and Tom are looking forward to our annual trip to groundswell next week. We are leaving the shop and farm in great hands, BUT I am going to fully embrace my holiday and there will be no bread next week!
Saturday 27th June will be the last chance to pick up a loaf until Thursday 9th July. To help with the addional bread demand this week I am taking orders via a new Whatsapp breadline.
The number is: 07958195198. Send a message with your name and you will get an automated message back with a link to the menu for the week, you can then send a message reserving your loaves stating the day you would like to collect. The breadline is totally unmanned until I pick up the messages prior to mixing, so feel free to message in the middle of the night, but please ensure its clear. Payment will be on collection only so don't go paying anyone as it won't be me requesting a payment in advance! The menu will be reasonably simple whilst I get a handle of the new system, but fingers crossed it will be a helpful addition.
I have baked three days a week, every week since the beginning of January - thats 72 hours of mixing, 48 hours of folding, 96 hours of waiting but not going to far just in case, 100 hours of shaping, 216 hours of baking and unmentionable amounts of washing up, and thats just the bread!
I will be back in time to make croissants and cinnamon buns on Saturday 4th July and I will leave ample supply of cake whilst we are away.
