IMPORTANT NOTICE

I have been dreading to send this message, given all the 'breaks' I have had since May 2026. I realize that the past 6 months have been frustrating for many of you for which I again apologize.

As I have advised before, we sold our house and in last week, the purchaser requested that we bring the registration forward, which we agreed to. This means that we now have to pack in earnest. In addition, we are making improvements at the new property which need to be 'project' managed. The new bakery also requires some building works.

For this reason, I again have to close the bakery and am hoping that I will be up and running early November 2026. I will communicate again once I have a definite date along with the new logistics around collection of bread and rusks.

Thanks for your continued support. From November, things will be back to normal🙏🏻🙏🏻.

Cheers
Ed

UPDATE

Some good news🥳 and unfortunately some bad news 😞.

I saw the surgeon yesterday, and he was very happy with my progress and range of motion🙏🏻. I have today done my first 4 batches of rusks, and it went well. However, he said I need to take it day by day, but God willing, I'll be baking tomorrow and the next .....

I am therefore open for rusk orders.

The bad news is that I can not start with the sourdough breads as the batches are too big and will put a lot of pressure on my shoulder. My sincerest apologies to all my bread clients.

Cheers

These two markets are coming up this Friday evening and then Saturday morning.

Unfortunately, I am unable to be there with my sourdough breads and rusks due to the shoulder operation

UPDATE

Unfortunately, it is proving difficult to get up and running again as I have realized that it involves much more than merely mixing and 'heavy lifting'. I saw the Nursing Sister yesterday and again she advised that the surgeon is adamant that I am not to pick up or move anything heavier than the 500g for 6 weeks, as mentioned in my last message. The physio is however going well.

I am going to try and do a batch of rusks next week, using my left arm only, but I am not hopeful 😬. I am missing baking but have to be sensible about the recovery.

Apologies if you are missing your bread and rusks🙏🏻🙏🏻.

This is just a quick update following my shoulder operation, last Monday.

The operation went well however my recovery period is longer than the initial 4 weeks advised initially due to the work that had to be done. The surgeon advised that it will be 6 weeks before I can lift anything heavier than 500g and 3 months for a full recovery. This has thrown me into a spin 🫣. I had my 1st physio session yesterday.

I am hoping to start up again next week, or the week thereafter🙏🏻🙏🏻, as I have two people who have offered to help me with the mixing and 'heavy lifting'.

I will obviously not be at Agua e Vide this coming Saturday with my breads.

I will communicate again once I have more certainty.

Cheers
