Hi.....

The concept of this blog came to me a while ago...it has just taken me a while to get going....but my recent actions underline why I have started it.

I like to dabble it a bit of baking, crafting, making stuff...making a mess. And a lot of the time it is really nice and satisfying. BUT, sometimes, it goes wrong and a lot of the time, I've given up. However, I hate to say it, but practice does make perfect. Also, following instructions and recipes help!

Here is my journey along the way :)

The spelt and ale loaf I made a few days ago failed miserably - I think the hot ale killed the yeast because during the proving stages, the dough did not increase in size at all!
