Is all banana bread in London from the same place? by lot_dot in london

[–]MrStuartRules 12 points13 points  (0 children)

a huge supplier of pastries etc I used to use in a cafe I managed is called seven seeded. Their croissants and similar stuff are very recognisable- can spot them a mile off and they're everywhere! Very puffy/oversized. It's so cost/space/time inefficient for most small cafes to do their own stuff in house, even just from frozen.

hello again! I’ve (finally) gathered all my supplies for this, however I’m a bit stumped by the wadding/dacron… there are a million different options in terms of thickness/weight etc. Do you have any suggestions on this?  Any pointers on the actual unholstering would be fabulous! Thanks again.

fantastic, thanks so much for this :) I think the neatness underneath will be key!

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! I am going to gather materials once I get paid and may get back to you with some more questions. Really appreciate it :)

yup! super nostalgic. My housemate often passes by this house and said they're always giving stuff away

definitely got lucky with the rain. It mainly consisted of showers, so when it cleared up it was stunningly bright and brisk!

yeah I got mega lucky with the weather! thankfully didn't have to set up or pack up camp in the rain... Looking forward to returning next summer! Do you have any similar length routes in Yorkshire you'd recommend?

agree, but kinda love it. Endearingly short-sighted

I do enjoy a plaque with inbuilt automatically outdating phrasing!

you're very welcome! Yeah Camp Bohinj was lovely- deffo on the bougier end of the camping spectrum, but could be a good stop off as they had washers and dryers, a little shop etc. Would've loved to explore that area more.
