When it rains I naturally turn towards the kitchen . 
This are the chickens when I let them out yesterday – apparently the ducks pond has nicer water! Ooo.
Yesterday – I also shifted The Four from one field to another. Pigs shift very slowly – there is a lot to investigate on the way. 
I take a bucket to sit on and a book to read when I shift pigs. I don’t mind if they mosy along.
Above is my pizza base. It is the sourdough one. Make it the night before – let it sit out 24 hours then divide and refrigerate until you need it.
I made a pear and sharp Canadian cheddar cheese pizza. Oh my!
Delicious.
These loaves are Spelt, Rye and the Janie’s Mill Sifted Artisan. I call the Sifted Artisan Bread Flour the Sifted Sister – I think I am the only one who laughs at that joke!
Very autumnal loaves – as is today. Not cold just wet and dark. I dread this winter.
I am putting my bread recipes in the #justjanies blog on the janiesmill website. They let me have a blog over there because I am not much good at writing recipes and they edit me in the recipe pages and I hate being edited. I am too much of a free spirit and I am not succinct enough. ‘Patting the dough on the head like a dog’ makes perfect sense to me and probably to you too! So I am happy to have my little blog corner.
Go to #Just Janie’s and will find me waffling on in there. Not terribly often. It is a flour blog. But I do love sharing my discoveries! Today I hope to get the sourdough pizza base in there and this Spelt/Rye loaf.
So – I had better get busy!!
Take care. Talk soon, lovelies!

That was me that just posted about the egg picture and the Pizza recipe. Forgot to log-in to WordPress first. Hello!
Here is the pizza recipe – https://www.janiesmill.com/just-janies/rxusxmibkor3hzvmvlox1lx56mub6c – it is a sourdough base but you can use a yeast base – more Italian anyway! c
Thank you! I am behind the rest of the sourdough world. I have a beautiful book explaining to me how to make it step-by-step but I haven’t ventured yet.
I love your JM blog…you’ve managed a nice voice…still you but in a professional context. And the pizza recipes are much appreciated! Is it hard writing 2 blogs?
Nice chat about the farm. Herding plonkers sounds like taking my young grandson for a walk. You start off but not really sure when you will arrive! I think the pizza looks very pretty and I liked to see you left me one piece! Cheers and I will wander over to your bread blog.
I feel like I have a split personality writing at two blogs – the bread one is more of a journal really as they don’t get published like we do here at wordpress. c
I have never made sourdough pizza, but want to because it looks so good!
It is too easy – like all sourdough it just takes time.
You’re dreading winter… ours wasn’t so bad, one of the mildest for a while with just enough rain for a good garden season. But we are dreading a too hot summer. Fingers crossed for both of us. Cheddar and pear pizza… mmm. Mozzarella has its place on Italian pizza but we too like cheddar, or a blend… with cheese, anything goes.
