Following the flurry of orders we received last week for the launch of Alice’s sourdough loaves, you might like to try a different variety this week. The most popular flavours at the launch were:

• Navigator White
• Titchmarsh Classic with 16% Rye
• The Poplars with 20% Wholemeal
• Rose Cottage Seeded

But, if you fancy something a little different, you could try the “Magnus” which uses an ancient Einkorn grain flour, which gives this loaf a slight pinky tinge and a wholesome nutty taste, whilst adding more fibre to the bread.

Whatever you decide, please get your order to the Village Shop by 4.30pm today, and your bread will be ready – fresh from the oven – to collect at 9.30am on Saturday at the shop.

To order – just pop into the shop, ring us on 01832 730 727 or email titchmarshvillageshop@gmail.com.

On a completely different note, the weather forecast is for unbroken sunshine this weekend, so you might be pleased to know that the Village Shop has stocked up on Magnum Ice-creams as a special treat to help you beat the heat.

So, there you have it – Magnus or Magnum – it’s your choice (though you could choose both!)
