Orphan teapots from charity shops to wet the whistles of thirsty visitors whose numbers have just topped 570. Unbelievably. Our blog is showing 6k+! Thank you all for making this grieving process so. Enjoyable. Rewarding. Uplifting. #breadboard #breadlover #bread #artisanbread #breadmaking

Cooking with Pru day, run by Airbnb! Behold 3 great recipes from Pru’s new book. Many of our Museum visitors have suggested the boards would make a great backdrop for a bread-baking episode of Bake Off. So, do you know, I plucked up the courage to pass this lovely thought on! Also did a book swap. Pru was a gracious, encouraging teacher and I had a thoroughly enjoyable day. #breadboard #leithsschooloffoodandwine #airbnbexperience

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
