🫒 This year we’ve left the olives on the tree

🫒 This year we’ve left the olives on the tree as they ripen from green through purple to black.
🫒They’ve been soaked in rainwater to begin the process of drawing out the bitter glucosides and are now resting in brine to achieve their hallmark saltiness.
🫒They’ll be ready to eat, maybe marinated in olive oil with homegrown rosemary, in a few months time.
🫒How do you like to serve your olives?

But I may have slipped a green chilli plant into the bed by accident as eating them was like Russian Roulette 🔥

Ten years ago today, after training as @BreadAngel

Ten years ago today, after training as @BreadAngels, my good friend @katrosbaxtros and I *accidentally* opened a bakery… We worked hard, baked loads, and met many fabulous faithful customers - our bread even won a couple of Great Taste Awards ⭐️⭐️
During the Covid pandemic, our microbakery was the main business of Hen Corner.
Now after baking for over a thousand customers we’ve decided to focus on teaching, equipping and empowering people to bake their own brilliant bread, learning skills for life that will feed them forever.
Check out our range of Bread & Baking courses on the website, and if you have festive favourites, there’s no need to miss out as we’ve just put in an extra date for Introduction to Christmas Baking…
Thanks to everyone who has supported our little bakery over the years, I hope that we can be baking together soon!

We had the best afternoon at @cotswoldsdistillery learning how they distill and age their award winning spirits. As designated driver, I loved the low alcohol Dry Gin Essence with tonic *and* my goodie bag of tasters, whilst @wardybits loved the whisky and slept in the car all the way home…

Do you have a little person in your life that would love to hug a hen?
*This Saturday* is our last opportunity of the season to join us for Family Feathers & Fun, our London chicken keeping course for families.

Whilst there will be treats and crafts for the children, our time together will give a good introduction to keeping chickens in an urban garden.

Our time together will include:

• The needs of the chickens, and their daily, weekly and monthly care.
• You will have the opportunity to handle a hen
• Questions over tea and cake
• Each family goes home with course notes, a certificate and a goodie bag!
