Another Good Morning to you lovely lot!  More sunshine, the early morning chill has retreated and I have warm fingers.  Perfect!

Wasn't yesterday lovely?  Warm but not too hot, humidity was fine and the windows were wide open.  Lovely end of April weather.

The sun made the walk down to Groove even more pleasant than usual and everyone was smiley and energetic - a great class.

The trip to Marriage's Mill shop paid dividends.  They have pretty much all the flours I would want to get and so much better value.  I got two 1.5K bags of their super strong white (nearly 15% protein) for under £2 a bag (that amount will make three big sourdough loaves and I will have a think about some of their other flours too.

Talking of loaves, I finished one for Beth, sliced it and popped it in my freezer until I can get it round to her and I took the white loaf round to Lindsey who was really pleased with it.

Currently, I have a dough going that I have made with ordinary plain flour, just to see how that works.  So far - nice feeling dough but slow to rise - unsurprisingly!  It wasn't sensible to start it anyway because I'm out most of the day so it will be playing hokey cokey with the fridge.    The long time might improve the flavour or it might just not work at all, in which case - flatbreads, aka shove it in a hot pan and see what happens!!!

Today, I'm off to Diane's and we are going to Freeport.  I particularly want to look in Pavers for some summer soft shoes but I bet that's not all I will come home with.  Oh, well, back to the low spending tomorrow, first of May.

Better get going, I suppose.  There's plenty of time but there won't be if I dither.  Have a grand day, everyone, and enjoy that sunshine.   xx
