I move on to the less depressing topic of baking, the loaves illustrated being the product of the latest bake. Got them into the oven in the nick of time, which meant that they very nearly held their rise, that on the left hand having just one small dimple or depression and that on the right a rather larger one.

More than half of the left hand one went down with our smoked loin and mustard at the first sitting.

All followed up by another round of cheese scones yesterday. Fully the calorifically unsound equal of a full English down at the caff, with the scones, more or less consumed in one sitting, containing 3oz of butter and 4oz of cheese in addition to stuff like flour and half strength milk. Very easy to make at home and very hard to supply in a caff. The things do not stand at all well.
