Here's the cheese and onion loaf, cooling.

Nice. I love home made bread. Trouble is I love it so much I eat too much of it, You've started something now, I feel the need to make a cheese and onion loaf. I have strong white bread flour and dried yeast in the cupboard 😂 I have a lovely recipe for my bread maker using the same recipe as hot cr...

Trouble is I love it so much I eat too much of it, You've started something now, I feel the need to make a cheese and onion loaf. I have strong white br...

Good news

I believe I may have excluded our Australian contingent, apologies for my fat fingers. I've removed a few IP ranges from the firewall block list. Hopefully access is restored.

We need a link to 'frog cam'

I just looked and I've lost contact with frog cam. I'll need to investigate.

Oh no!

Congratulations to Hugh Zapritti-Boyden on being elected Chairman of the Budgerigar Appreciation Society!
