Would the forecast have been right? Would I see a soft blanket of white when I pulled back the blind??
Indeed I would! It had snowed! Lots! =D
Excited as kid's at Christmas (well, I was anyway!) we packed up the cars & headed off to School. The snow wasn't too bad on the roads, so the journey in was fairly uneventful.
This week we'll be looking at rye breads, soakers & sourdoughs, so today was mostly about setting down the levains & soakers ready for use tomorrow. We did have another opportunity to play around with the 'dead dough' & practise our plaiting & baguette moulding, which was nice =)
It didn't take long to get all the levains & soakers ready, & the snow started to drift down again around 10.00am, getting steadily heavier & heavier. Several students, & some of the staff, have to drive in quite some way to get to School, & with the snow showing no signs of letting up, we made the decision to head home. After lunch of course ;)
I planned to walk home with Clare & Tory, so we stocked up on the lovely Thai butternut soup & tasty breads, then donned our winter clothes, & out into the wilderness we headed!
The Welbeck Estate is a beautiful place, but in the snow it's really rather magical =)
I may have been just a little bit excited at the prospect of a walk in the snow... =D
The snow had all but stopped by the time we got back to the apartments, but Alex & Rose were busy building snowmen, so of course we had to stop & help!
By the time we were done, we had ourselves quite a smart looking snowman family =)
All being well, School will be open as usual tomorrow, so there should actually be some bread to talk about! Until then, I shall curl up with a cup of tea, & perhaps a salted caramel or two =)
