Comments on: Last Night at St John Bakery https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/03/08/last-night-at-st-john-bakery/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Fri, 03 May 2013 17:19:07 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Sailing St John https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/03/08/last-night-at-st-john-bakery/#comment-107381 Fri, 03 May 2013 17:19:07 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=83264#comment-107381 What a great website. I’ve just spent hours reading on here. I found the attempted arson of Freedom Press sad but inspiring as well. And of course I loved this post, makes me want to go bake some bread. But it is also about following your passions to do something you really enjoy.
Thanks for a great read.

My husband bakes 3 loaves a week (hand done, not in a bread maker). It is wonderful with home made soup!

Phew: a team of bakers that Justin trained will carry on.

Excellent photographs as always by that Spitalfields Life contributing photographer – The Gentle Author.

Come back to baking soon.
