LET’S PLAY DOUGH

Richard and Karen Baines would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all who joined us at home to “Play Dough” on Saturday, September 28th.

It was an extremely enjoyable evening which raised £200 for the Playing Field and Church Fund.

Richard demonstrated the making of an unleavened harvest loaf, making bread dough, moulding, baking, showing the difference between various flours, all the while answering questions.

While everyone’s dough creations were rising, and baking we had a supper party, much lifted by liquid refreshment brought by the guests.
