I was up early this morning cooking for the stall when a friend arrived with a fantastic gift.  He’d watched me baking the day before and noticed that I was a bit short on bread tins.

“Would you like some more?” he asked “The sort that are joined together.”  (He knew where some might be found).

What a question – oh my goodness yes!  I’d wanted some for more years than I can remember. You can buy new ones, but I wanted the nostalgic charm of pre-loved and preferably a little battered through years of constant baking.

At 7am friend Neville unexpectedly arrived with these beauties – how good are they?!   I’ve used one of the sets of three to bake bread, which is almost ready to pull out of the oven.  One of the best Saturdays ever to be sure.
