As I haven’t posted in ages, here are some miscellaneous bits from the last couple of weeks:

Parakeet in Brockwell Park

I have tried so many times in my life to bake bread and every single time the bread has turned out heavy and inedible. Well, today I baked amazing, delicious, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside bread, thanks to this book which I took from work. I have been meaning to take it home for AGES and try it out, but kept putting it off. Then I read this and it totally inspired me. I took it home, read the recipe, didn’t have any of the specialist equipment (oven thermometer, baking stone, pizza board) and it still worked out absolutely brilliantly. Plus now I have loads of dough in the fridge to pop out and make in to fresh bread whenever I want it. Yay!

In other news, Peter and I have found our next home! It is very close to where we are now, and is beautiful. Lots of pics as soon as we move in, in just under a month. Exciting!
