Hi, everyone! What a gloriously sunny morning here in mid-Essex. We've had a frost though - isn't it just typical that as the new growth gets going, we have one of the few frosts of the last few months?
It was frosty yesterday too. I was so glad I checked early because the car needed scraping and I needed to be at the pick up to catch the coach.
It was a really lovely time at Stratford-upon-Avon but I will write about that separately. Quite a long time in the coach - three hours each way with a 'comfort' stop off. It was nice to stretch my legs and back!
Now it is Sunday. I have Beth and Alex's bread rising nicely and a mushroom soup prepping in my second Thermione bowl (the dough is in the first).
While I'm thinking of it, Vorwerk doesn't make a specific dough hook (yet, anyway) but there is one that is compatible and I'm thinking of getting it. There is a knead function and it works fine for yeasted bread which is a more robust dough, but it would be good to have one that folds rather than cutting for my sourdough. It's not very expensive so . . . yes.
Today I need to pack for tomorrow - or start packing anyway. It won't take long, it is only for two nights. I've worked out my route. It is just off the A14 so very straightforward from here, the worst bit being getting on the M11 from the A120 - it's the Stansted roundabout and it is fiendish! I've got a work around though!
After that it is just three roads. Even I would find it difficult to get lost!
Well, the soup is smelling - er - soupy so I will leave you with just one photos from yesterday. More to follow.
Bye xxx
Glad you had a sunny day out. We’re back to heavy rain again this morning. Catriona
