Today I have tried something new, after  meaning to have a go for some time "Sourdough Bread" and it's really good.

Right this is a new blog and something I am quite keen that more people should get to know about and hopefully have a go at so I am joining the large number of blogs and websites giving space to this subject. A couple of months ago my wife Pat went to visit my son and his family in scotland for a fortnight, I take her up have a couple of days there and then come back to look after the allotment then repeat the exersize when she comes back. I usually have a go at something new while she is away (while the cats away the mice will play) because if she's home and it looks messy and smells then it will end up in the bin when I'm not looking,  and that will be an end to it. Maybe you know someone like that too. Anyway I got my starter going and the first loaves made, and took them for people to try on my return to scotland. I was quite suprised that so many people liked them and more over that all the kids loved them and came back for more. That boosted my confidence because although if grandad has made something then they will have a try, they are true critics and if they dont like it they let you know face pulling and spitting out to make their point, bless em.

But no hardly a word of criticism.
