Phew . I have to say I felt a bit emotional reading your news . It has been so sad hearing of your struggle to get basics . That is really wonderful !

The waste aspect is awful . My husband thinks butter beans will be found at the back of cupboards in years to come !

Hope it has helped ease things for you .

take care ,

Hi

Yes some people in London are really selfish I live and come from London and it feels to me like it's every body for themselves we don't have the community spirit like we ate seeing on the news, I have just been so grateful for the council food parcels !! 

My brother has a bungalow by the coast and has been inundated with calls to stay there , he has refused because of the virus and they are not going down there themselves , 

Its just me and Hubby in our small flat he also has cancer and had a text today his next appointment has been cancelled it's getting very scary 

I too have been painting too not brilliant but find it very calming 

Stay safe 

Lots of love

 and 

Have to say I am a wee bit proud of my bread !! First time ever . Half way through I thought I had successfully made a brick !! However it turned out well . Also discovered I have a proofing setting in my over ( had it for two years) and for the first time ever I used the twirling bits in my hand blender . Boys loved it . Definitely doing it again and it was actually really easy to do .

Going to try the rolls .

Any other suggestions very much welcome .

Peacock62  That’s quite astounding . Are they wanting a holiday or trying to escape ? Someone told me they think that’s partly how Spain’s spread got so bad due to people heading out of cities .

It is hard to process the extent of what is going on now . I am taking a lead out my mum’s book and staying busy and it’s so overwhelming. Thankfully managed to get my in-laws to stay in . Great gran is dying and the whole thing is just so difficult for them to visit .

How is everyone else passing the time ?

Take care ,

How is the painting coming along ?

Take care ,

Hi @court

Sounds delicious would like a taste of the brick

I know it's shocking how some people are thinking they think they are invincible but they are just spreading it . Sooner people adhere to the rules the better it will be for all of us

Well done you. I’m envious of your proofing oven... 

I baked a loaf today for therapy and to eat with butter and jam... When you have no appetite it’s the small things that make a difference.

its addictive, I guarantee you’ll get hooked, practice makes perfect.

tip... I use my iPhone to set reminders so I don’t forget and over proof or cook. I tend to rest between stages and fall asleep  

Oh I just popped back and changed my spelling . I have a bit of an auditory processing thing on the go and sometimes it shows . Ha ! 

I got a new kitchen two years ago . It’s not too big but credit to the man who installed it he made such good use of every available space and he suggested the oven . I have to say I love it but never used that function . I bake quite a lot . Big fan of Mary Berry . I used to be rubbish at it but decided to try again and now love it . 

I most certainly will be keeping this up . What do you bake your rolls in/on ?
