Another reason to be CERES School of Nature and Climate today with the winter sun shining and the full attention of the participants in the sourdough workshop. As usual the lunch time conversation was eclectic with many topics covered not just centred around bread . One of the wonderful aspects of my baking classes are always the range of topics that we cover no class is ever the same and that’s something I thoroughly appreciate, the diversity of knowledge and experience that comes with every participant and to end this post the joy l get when I see yet another display of solidarity in a shop window in my old community Coburg photos

The enthusiasm of today’s baking class CERES School of Nature and Climate was fantastic and trying to keep on schedule whilst keeping up with the questions and conversations was quite an inspiring challenge. So many myths regarding “sourdough” were definitely the topic of my conversations and I hope that all the participants were able to appreciate the real stories about my baking experience especially the nutritional value of WholeGrain flour ( the correct term is simply “wholemeal”) as apposed to our addiction to White Flour and the simplicity of not being bound to a daily feeding routine for a starter, 30+ years of baking experience gives me a little extra to offer for a day’s workshop but I do my best to fill in the time we have to learn as a shared experience and CERES is a fantastic location to make sure we can participate in the process. 🙌

CERES School of Nature and Climate The weather was beautiful for us today and yet another great class of enthusiastic participants in my bread workshop with the results to show what is possible with the simple ingredients of flour water and salt.

I had the privilege of being able to see at the in the last screening this afternoon ( two screenings only) it would have been better if they were sold out, the audience was small in numbers for this incredibly moving film that I believe should be viewed by everyone who has never even considered the truth of what the Palestinians have had to endure under Israeli occupation! This heartfelt story is exposes the reality of what the Nakba did to a family who owned a property, a business and a home to have everything taken from them in the name of Israel! Their enduring love for their homeland and the humiliation that Israel imposed on them is presented in a beautiful heart felt story of endurance that is gut wrenching for anyone with a sense of humanity! 🇵🇸

First class for 2026 after our return home from just over two months in Europe, it’s somewhat surreal to be back home and getting back into our regular routine of working life whilst we also witness so much pain and suffering that is being endured by those who have never even had the chance to travel and experience the freedom that we have and at the same time watching how our own country is experiencing a rise of the right with its bigoted policies and dehumanising our own local minority communities of immigrants! I only hope that my shared experiences of the simplicity of home baking which knows no borders of racial or social divide can give joy to those who can break bread with each other. 🙌🙌🙏 🇵🇸
