Artisan bakeries rely on time-honored techniques that prioritize slow fermentation, natural ingredients, and skilled baking practices. Each product is made in smaller batches to ensure precision and consistency. This approach allows bakers to create breads, pastries, and specialty items with distinctive textures and deep, well-developed flavors.

As I hardly know one end of a guitar from the other, I thought I would ask what your favourite curry is….as I do enjoy a ruby myself?

I have seen the band twice on the current tour - at Derby and Holmfirth - and thought both gigs were ace. What tracks are on the Wishlist CD - as this was only available half way through the tour?

Are consecutive tours gruelling and which beer helps you to cope?

Cheers,

Lyndon (top fan).
