year, the summer heat has finished off the strawberries,
the apricot season went by in the blink of an eye, it’s
too hot to think of cooking anything at all until evening
cools the air. Even the memory of standing over a simmering
pot of jam makes me perspire...

Every time you make bread you’re guaranteed a good ten minutes of

reading lined up, but Katie Fforde wins out after a normal day with three
children, four dogs, three cats all needing various forms of attention).

believe in any of the above.
