New Bread and Lamb at Martin's Market

 

We now have a new supplier of fresh bread and cakes for our Saturday market.

This is a small artisan bakery which bakes a range of delicious handmade bread (including sourdough loaves) and cakes.

We will also have…

Unseasonal goings on!

In this week's email to Food Challenge members I mentioned that I had spotted some daffodils coming up in our garden and asked if anyone else had similar out of season things happening.

One reply put my daffs in the shade reporting that two daffodils had already flowered and were now dying while another reported a current crop of strawberries!

Anything else of note to report?
