News from the village bakery

Hello! It seems that every year around this time I get to sit down and write a few words for you, promising myself it will be a regular thing from now on. Which is happening just now. I do wish to come back in a form of newsletter more regularly as I am aware that not all of our lovely customers are present on social media.

I can't really get my head around what's happening at leavened at the moment. Days come and go, flour is floating in the air, loaves are being shaped and baked, sweet cinnamon smell is flooding the village, coffees are being made in amounts we never thought we would have to provide - life is good. It is hard occasionally but your visits are the fuel that helps us recover and bake again and again.

Over the past few months we had some serious issues with our flour but finally that seemed to come to an end (mainly because of changing the supplier, I will explain more about this on our socials). We are again proud of the bread and feel ready to move forward.

I have big dreams about some more magic things happening in the bakery and maybe if I put it here in writing, it will help me make it come true.

The biggest wish is to meet you for bread workshops, and you have been asking a lot and waiting patiently, and I am at the stage of final touches and will be announcing some details very very soon. I am really excited for this but also a bit apprehensive as, believe it or not, as much as I can bake bread and know how to do it, I still don't feel like a professional baker. Nevertheless, I will be thrilled to spend time with you, dipping our hands in warm dough.

A dream number two is to develop amazing pizza dough and to be able to invite you to pizza evenings. This one requires a bit more practice and even more time, but I am hoping, with enough help, this will be taking place this year.

Finally, something we have managed to sort out already, there is an event you can book now. We are inviting you to our table to spend some time learning about aromatherapy, creating your very own aromatherapy spray whilst enjoying our special, nature inspired bakes. We have prepared this event in collaboration with Katie (@Fernwood Remedies) and we would love to see you. You can book a tickets by following this link.

To summarise, please watch this space for any updates and new events, I will do my best to pop in here more often and share more thoughts and wishes with you. And with that, have a great day and I hope to see you in the bakery very very soon!
