Relentless baking / house building
Apr. 7th, 2020 03:25 pmSo glad to be a baker at this time, however my copious flour stocks have been reduced to making "empty the cupboard" bread tonight. Hopefully the shop roulette will grant me some more flour later in the week.
I'll make sure to feed Harold (my sourdough starter) before I purge my stocks though. Hopefully won't have to put him into suspended animation. I've not been making proper sourdough recently because it's harder on the flour stocks, although I always through a bit in for flavour anyway.
Managing to go a decently long time between shops, and getting eggs (and hopefully meat soon) from our neighbours helps!
Speaking of neighbours we might have a few more soon...
I've been saying for years that they should build houses down at the old mill site at the bottom of our hill. Well they have now proposed to do just that. However the planning application is for 110 new houses! This would be a significant proportion of the current population of Bugsworth, which seems absolutely insane to me. I've put in an objection, but I know that given recent government dictats most planning is accepted nowadays. And this mostly being on brownfields land (although not entirely) is even more likely to go ahead.
It's annoying because it's much better than a lot of the stupid greenfields building that's happened recently, but it's far too big for the local infrastructure. Grumble.
