ADVANCED WARNING. We're taking a 2 week break from the 10th August. The way things have worked out, tomorrow will be my last until Aug 27th.

Shop bread will continue up until we down tools, and return again on Aug 26th.

Gotta make the time while they're young. Life flying by and kids growing up super fast. If anyone knows how to slow it down, please do let me know.

Any sponsorship much appreciated 👇👇

Chairman's Challenge training is well underway!

Four of the lads got some valuable miles in at the Ludlow Half on Sunday, with Chairman Mikey Jones, Dickie Griffiths, Pete Clarke and Stu Lewis all completing the course.

The Ludlow Half includes around 300m of elevation... but that's only half the climbing they'll face on 1st August, when the team takes on the Everest Ascent Challenge by running 354 laps around Ludlow Castle to climb the equivalent height of Mount Everest!

There's still time to support the team and help us raise money for Ludlow Rugby Club and local charities. Every donation makes a difference.

All loaded into the ol' double fridge for a cold rest before baking for at first light 🌄. The internal temp has jumped to 16 degrees with all the room temp loaves going in, but you can do it old girl. Hopefully it'll work its way down to single digits soon. Fingers crossed, probs the inevitable jank nights sleep..."but I can't make you love me (or cool down), if you don't/won't" so I should probably try and forget about it.

Reminder - sadly is CANCELLED tomorrow.

When I grow up, I'm going to get AC and a big walk in fridge, but until that point I'll just keep working out ways to stay in the game.

OK, so this has been on my mind for a while. There's no membership forms or fees, no physical meet ups (not yet anyway) and it's all for fun. It was also a great excuse to work with the legendary .v again, she's smashed it out the park as always. Standby for exercise vest launch soon 💪 - info and visuals to follow.

All just a bit of nonsense. Life can feel a bit serious, Dick's Run Club is anything but. Anyone can get involved, and feel free to use the club name if you're entering events

I'm hoping the final design for vests will be ready soon. These can be for runners, gym goers, worn as training tops or just for wearing about the place. Available to anyone who wants one, this is a not for profit enterprise. Vests will be pre order only (more info shortly) and I won't be holding stock.

Is today's bake the best I've ever done? Possibly not, but its flippin' solid considering my tin can shipping container bakery was over 30 degrees all day, you could hear the fridge groaning from the end of the drive and my head hurt. Off delivering soon, then back to prep for tomorrow, with all my bits crossed it goes OK again 🤞🤞🤞

This is a large 70% Wholemeal Sourdough tin loaf enjoying the morning sunshine. It has 30% white flour just to lighten it a little, and Rye Flakes and Pumpkin Seeds steeped in boiling water and folded through the mix. Finished with more chopped Rye Flakes and Pumpkin Seeds for a satisfying crust. It's just a really good everyday loaf. I try not to get too jazzy with inclusions, I want the bread to stand up for itself. All Organic flour from and available today from 9am.

Regrettably rising costs mean from this week onwards loaf prices will be increasing by 30p. I've tried hard to absorb these increases, but it feels unsustainable. Prices have been the same since I began Dick's over 4 years ago but as demand has increased, my profits haven’t grown with it. Essentially a basic product of 3 main ingredients, there are many costs which you may not have thought about. Flour prices have increased since I started, but this really is the tip of the iceberg. Business insurance, fuel to bring the product to you, electricity to run the ovens, mixers and fridge, dried fruit and seed prices, accounting software etc etc have all increased.

I get lots of lovely comments about the bread, and hopefully the joy it brings still represents good value. I never started this to earn vast quantities of cash, but it feels a little out of balance.
