🍞 Shop Closure Notice - Week Commencing 17 August

Just a quick heads-up that I'll be taking a few days off for a well-earned rest during the week commencing 17 August.

The bakery shop will be:

✅ Open: Wednesday 19th August
❌ Closed: Thursday 20th August, Friday 21th August & Saturday 22nd August
Open as normal from the 26th August.

After what has been a very busy year so far, I'm looking forward to taking a short break to recharge before getting back to baking for you all.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support of this little local bakery. It really does mean the world.
