The best of our winter harvest, saved from frosts but ravaged by slug and snail. #breadboard #breadboardmuseum #allotment #wintergreens #snailaday

Celebrating George Wing and Bramhall of Sheffield and their massive contribution to the history of BBs with the biggest pair of BBs you will ever see! Display at Sheffield Local Studies Library. Thanks to Maggie and Heather, Sue and Nick! For one month only. #breadboard

Our latest lovely donation, a fruitily carved oak ‘Fruit’ dish from Mrs Salt, wife of Raymond, who was a carver at Bramhall Co. Sheffield. A sister dish went to Kelham Island. Given at a joint talk at KI with Nick Duggan, that November day before the Don flooded. Fruit from a Putney charity shop (couldn’t leave it languishing). KI totally worth a visit - over 200 bread knives were on display for the 20+ intrepid visitors who braved the storms. #breadboards #breadboard

Brambly Hedge. I used to love the cosy clutter. Must have inspired the bb museum unconsciously! Note Breadboard and cottage loaf - our trade mark. #breadboard #cottageloaf #bramblyhedge #vintagebreadboard

Nancy sings the Blessing of the Bread over our Jewish bb. Owner of the Umbrella Cover Museum - quirky, right? - in Maine, she wants to start a Niche Museums Association! #breadboard #challahbread
