1. @megkenlet : Toasted spelt with sautéed nettles and a poached egg
2. @parisbarghchi : Rye bread with @seasistersuk oak smoked trout, pickled green tomatoes, crème fraiche, simple lemon zest, and a drizzle of capezzana olive oil!
3. @megkenlet : Toasted Sesame bread with piperade and aioli
4. @timclivegraham : Spelt slices, early Spring salad, hummus and pickles

📢 IMPORTANT NEWS 📢
Next Tuesday the cafe is closed for a refit. On THURSDAY we’ll be opening with a new counter and service area from @somerfurniture_
Our bread, coffee and pastry pop-up will be outside @risefrome so you can still grab a loaf and croissant.
The bakery at Station Approach is open as normal. xx
Driving up and over the rise from Cann Common to Melbury Abbas.
"Stunted hawthorn, wind worn
Foaming like cresting waves
Up the rippling chalk ridge"
I was very pleased to visit @greenfarming_brothers today to talk about grain and growing some winter wheat for @rye_bakery .
It was wonderful to walk the chalk fields, hear the skylarks, watch the swallows and roe deer, and imagine what the fields will look like in a few scant months when they turn from green to gold.
This wonder was only heightened as we walked along the Dorset cursus, a 5000 year old neolithic monument that runs 6 miles across the local fields. In the penultimate image you can see the parallel lines of the former 2m ditches that formed the edges of the cursus, now silted up and invisible at ground level.
It makes me feel connected to the land and excited for what the land will give back as it has done for thousands of years.

Whether you call the South West home or you’re just passing through on a well-earned break, one thing’s guaranteed – you’re seriously spoiled when it comes to bakeries. From @gorse_cornwall 's perfectly crusty sourdough and @pipitbakery ’s next-level patisserie to @hilda.bakery – Bristol’s bakery on wheels – these spots are the kind of places where having your cake and eating it isn’t just allowed… it’s mandatory.
