No bread is an island

...entire of itself. (With apologies to John Donne!)
I live and breathe breadmaking. I’m an evangelist who would like everyone to make his or her own bread. I want to demystify breadmaking and show it as the easy everyday craft that it is. To this end I endeavour to make my recipes as simple and as foolproof as I possibly can.

I call my blog 'No bread is an island' because every bread is connected to another bread. So a spicy fruit bun with a cross on top is a hot cross bun. This fruit dough will also make a fruit loaf - or Chelsea buns or a Swedish tea ring...
I'm also a vegan, so I have lots of vegan recipes on here - and I'm adding more all the time.

HAPPINESS

Preparing lunch today, whilst listening to the Dolly Suite, by Faure, on Jools Holland's radio programme on BBC Sounds, where he was interviewing musician, YolanDa Brown. This was one of YolanDa's choices, and she introduced it by saying how really happy it made her, every time she heard it. 

And, listening to the music, dancing a few steps, and then I realised - I just felt incredibly happy! I'm generally happy anyway, but watching 3 small birds - dunnock, blue tit and robin - in quick succession, on the bird feeder just outside the kitchen window, coupled with feeling good after my morning 10k walk, then this incredible music, which I absolutely love, gave me such a good feeling!
