More bread

I love bread, particularly made from quality, fresh, organic ingredients. So today, avoiding the madding crowds flocking to the coast, we headed inland to another organic Dorset baker. Hidden deep in the beautiful countryside, north of Wimborne, you’ll find the village of Long Crichel and the Bakery. They have been baking in their wood fired brick oven since 2000 and in addition to the traditional loaves you’ll find mouth watering cakes and patisseries. We bought a sourdough loaf and a couple of Danish whirls. The pastries were demolished shortly after, sitting at the edge of a field in the hot sunshine, with just the sound of the buzzing insects and the birds (including a far off cuckoo). That reminds me of a ’60s hippy joke. A hippy goes into a bakers and says
“Hey man, give me one of your far out cakes”
Baker “I’m sorry sir they’re all gone”
Hippy “Great, I’ll take two”
