About

I enjoy fresh white bread with real butter.

My Work

I am retired and live in Ross on Wye. I make bread for my wife and I and friends and neighbours.

Passionate about Baking as Lifestyle Medicine

Often shop bread gives me indigestion so was keen to make my own. I had The Sourdough School book for Christmas. I have been making bread enjoying the whole process and would love to know more.

My Community

I think my wife and I feel much better eating homemade sourdough bread. I also think the whole process is a good way of encouraging people to slow down and appreciate the good things in life.

How I use BALM Protocol

I will make bread for my wife and I and will also make bread for friends and neighbours as it is a nice kind thing to do and share the pleasure.
