Although I live in Edinburgh, I went to Alnwick in Northumberland having seen here that Andy was having a stall at the Farmers' Market today. I met a friend but stupidly chatted too long over coffee, so that by the time we got to the Market at about midday, Andy had almost completely sold out of his bread and pastries ! I bought the very last Foccacio, and my friend bought some palmiers. It was really nice to meet Andy and put a face to a name, to hear about his plans for the future, and to see pictures of his wood fired oven. He had also been featured by the local newspaper - all brilliant. A great start, I must just get there earlier next time !
Hi Nici,
It was lovely to meet you and thank you so much to both of you for coming along today. I love TFL for surprises like this!
I did manage to capture a cluster of photos as I set up; here's one shot, with the rest on flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24731237@N03/sets/72157629058640709/
All good wishes
Andy
at all happy until you start shipping Andy :-) Cheers! Glad you keep selling out.
Andy, I hate to be the one to say it, and don't take this wrong, and I respect you lots, even like your cat, but, but you have to invest a little more time to your photography.
Hold the camera up higher or stand like a customer looking down into the bread baskets!
By jove, I wanna see some bread porn! :)
Hello Andy
I like the pictures and raeding the comment it seems the bread was a sell out success. hope it grows from strenght to strenght

Ok I'll take the scolding Mini!
For now, I'm left with an empty freezer:
Yesterday I had a lot of wood to deal with...to use to bake more bread...of course!
And, safely stored:
Wood Porn?!
Best wishes

Hello Matt,

"World class Sourdough" sounds excellent indeed; I look forward to hearing more from you.
You might be pleasantly surprised to know there are quite a few UK posters here on TFL; great bakers too!
