I try to buy at the bakery, but sometimes it is handy to have these breads.
When we are on Fehmarn, we can't always go into town to get bread from the bakery and then it's a life-saver. And it keeps well.

I've just toasted a couple of Schneider Whole Grain Rye Bread, made in Germany, which I like occasionally, topped with home-made smoked mackerel paté.

I always have some frozen,part baked baguette, ciabatta or rolls from Picard in my freezer because we live a good 25minute round trip from the nearest bakery and Sometimes I just don't feel like baking if I run out of fresh bread.

Ocado sell some Picard stuff, including rather nice pain au raisins.

I always have some slices that can be toasted from frozen and some other bread in the freezer, I can’t get through a whole loaf before it goes stale

Member 461 I first met my spouse in the back row of an orchestra in an English grammar school. He played the basoon, I played the cello ! The school has since been demolished! We did get to know each other better when we acted in the school dranatic production - Bernard Shaw Major Barbara, he was the romantic lead, I was the matriach with grey hair and a black Victorian dress. All of that was 60 years ago but he is taking me out on Thursday evening. I posted the details elswhere.

My OH and I met at art school ... I was newly single and he was almost 20 years my junior ... we were friends who discussed everything under the sun when suddenly it dawned on us that ... some of the lassies who’d been setting their caps at him were a little surprised, and one lecturer in particular wanted to know what I’d got that she hadn’t .... we did our Masters in different cities ... but we’re still together ... it’ll be 24 years in a few days’ time ...

Ain’t Education a wonderful thing ...

My husband and I met in 1964 at a dance in Carshalton Public Hall when we were inYear12. We went off to University and then got married in 1970. I always say I’ve got one man licked into shape and couldn’t face training another one up!

My fiftieth birthday was on a fotoclub night (December 2013) and so I took gateaux and bubbly for everyone. On that day two new chaps sauntered in and one of them was Axel. I did not know then that he was my birthday present. We didn't get together until Whitsuntide 2015, but it was fun taking our time.

That's lovely Uschi and you both have the same interest.

Once upon a time, in a small town, lived a man on his own and on the other side of town a woman in similar circumstances; they had never met.

A friend invited him to join the local arts (drama) group for which she was the Prompt for all productions.

Forty years later OH still gives me on-stage instructions, but I smile a lot.

Fabulous Clive just fabulous!

That's great!!! My maternal grandparents were together for more than 60 years (they had to elope to marry) and my parents managed 52 years.
Somehow I don't think I am going to match that.

[Renee Profile]

What a lovely story Petronius!

What a wonderful story about your maternal grandparents Uschi!

What a wonderful array of stories, all soaked in chivalry and romance.

Then there's me and Tiff. Met in Manchester at 23 on a night out of a mutual friends birthday, tiffs friend from work, mine from my university days. We were both bitter and switched off from romance, we drank lots of tequila as a group and we didn't even acknowledge each other. I then shared a taxi home with her as my hotel was the same side of town as her house share. Lots of snow fell, and the taxi was called off due to bad weather I got stuck at her house. All very convenient if you ask me
