January has been a good month. I had my birthday, I got a new job, and Lee has been a four-week course. This has meant that we have actually been on the same Monday to Friday schedule, which has been such a treat.

We decided that as there was no rain forecast today that we would head south to the Forest of Dean and get some exercise. We hired some bikes, managed to find some helmets large enough for a big fat heads, and headed out on the trail.

















We finished the weekend with one of Lee's famous soups and I MADE BREAD! Bread, that actually tasted like bread! Woohoo!

I know that I'm around four years late to the Bittman no-knead bread party but I blame the fact that I didn't have a dutch oven. Well I've had a lovely dutch oven since our kind friends gave us one for a wedding. But it wasn't until this Christmas until I finally got (or got around to asking for) a stainless steel knob so that I could actually use it in the oven.





I felt so domestic after having made bread that I actually washed the kitchen floor. Somebody stop me.
