Thank you Rita! As soon as we pressed send on this post we went offline for a week in the Adirondacks so it's lovely to come home and see you here in the comments. It would be great if every month we had lots of cool happenings to share, and hopefully that manifests itself now that we are in our new place!

Haha, was it happiness or extreme relief that I got through my first workshop and it was a success? Either way the focaccia was there one second, gone the next. Very satisfying!

Thanks S&S! It was of course the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall focaccia... always a crowd pleaser!

I love how you are occupying the full width of this substack with photo collages. The photos are wonderful as usual. The focaccia, inviting.

Thank you John - when we first started on Substack we found a rigidity to the format in how it showed pictures and had to strong arm it into the visual direction we wanted. Glad you are enjoying the full width photo collages!
