On Saturday Louise, John and Neil attended Collessie Coffee morning. We had not been able to get into Fisher Donaldson on Friday and had instead congregated at Jeans for an enjoyable days baking.

Unfortunately the bread we made there went wrong and we reckon the yeast had failed to work. Following lots of Friday evening text messaging we rallied round and baked off some more bread. John even set his alarm for 5am to bake some more! As it turned out the snow meant that turn out was lower than anticipated so we had enough samples and everyone loved the bread, so a big sigh there.

We had a great time at the coffee morning with lots of great positive comments and support for a community bakery. We are currently speaking to the Collessie Hall committee about the idea of getting things started in their kitchen. We have sourced some great second hand equipment and Neil and John are off to pick up our steel workbench on Monday. We have had an initial meeting with environmental health in the hall so know what we have to do to make it all happen. The hall are having their AGM in May where decisions will be made.
