Yep i got a bread machine, a morphy richards fastbake one, it bakes a loaf in 58 minutes and the bread is gorgeous. Great thing is you can mess with the ingredients, so i usually add 2 cups of white flour and one cup of wholemeal.

I haven't bought a loaf of bread for about a year and a half now.

There are three bakeries within five minuites walking from my door, a few butchers and fruit and veg shops too, all independant. Yet all the newsagents close over lunch?

and chocolatiers too

Ive got all that on my doorstep too, all the joys of living in a snobby area of the world!!

excuse me?

Chocolatiers. That's all I need.

I'm a chocolatier.
