It must be time for a coffee

Today's bake is an apple crumb loaf that's spiced with cinnamon.

A beautiful day on Cromer beach.

Thank you, and I know what you mean. I will try one of last night's challenges. But they all seem a bit daunting.

Today's bake is a plum & oregano focaccia.

Thank you.

I assure you it was rolled and filled. It's just my photo that maybe doesn't do it justice.

I've decided to bake along with the current series of Great British Bake Off. For week one I made this raspberries & cream Swiss roll.
I was tempted by the fondant fancy challenge, but the bonkers amount of sugar in the recipe put me off.

It's been a good morning in the kitchen.

Today's bake is loaf of black flour & spelt bread.
The black flour is from Letheringsett Mill in North Norfolk. It adds a wonderfully nutty taste to the bread.

Tuesday #baking means that we have scones for tea tonight.

This is viscerally disgusting from anyone, but especially from a Labour PM. Every single person in the UK will have stories about how immigrants have made our lives, or the lives of our loved ones, immeasurably better.

It’s language like Starmer’s that causes ‘incalculable damage’. I feel sick.

If you go down to the sea today.
Beautiful day in Cromer.

I do like to be beside the seaside.

Good afternoon

Topping up my coffee Everyone else gets asked what they want. I always take what I’m given. It’s a ritual we’ve followed since day one. I came in full of that coffeeshop rush, enticed by the familiar but exotic aroma, joined the queue and waited my turn. I’d decided on a black Americano, my go-to in a new place. But when I got to the counter there was no asking what I wanted.

First post in far too long. A little coffeeshop daydream.

This week we went to Lavenham.
Has to be the best looking village in the country.

As I've been a bit remiss on the latest @trollopwithalaptop.bsky.social bookclub, a train trip presented the perfect opportunity to catch up.

Unexpected faces on my cakes.

Sunday afternoon in the kitchen.
Spelt bread & parsnip cake.

Many years ago I had every book JG Ballard had written. They finished up in the wrong pile during a separation and ever since I've been trying to rebuild the collection. This morning I found Kingdom Come in a second hand store and I think I've done it.

I started my Saturday morning with quite possibly the best almond croissant I've ever tasted.
If you're ever in Norwich I cannot recommend St Giles Pantry too highly.
