They produce some lovely bread good old fashion type...mainly white but they do have wholewheat as well...
So when I popped to the shops a little while ago I bought a loaf, still warm and smelling delicious.
So I have just had a "Doorstep" of bread, butter and plum jam..... there is just not any thing that tastes like it...it also brings back memories of tea when I was young, we always had afternoon tea when we got in from school..... it would consist of savory pastes made of sardines or chicken liver a bit like a pate without the posh name......and of course breads with jam, my mother was also a very dab hand at Victoria Sponges again with jam in the middle.
If you have not had Bread and Jam for years ...go and try one and savour the memories....
It goes with out saying this jam was all home made. Bought jam never entered our house, I remember with the Robertson's jams they gave away "Golly stickers ' you collected them and when you had 20 you could send off for a Golly brooch, as you can guess I never got one because Mum never bought the jam... I guess today I would be classed as having a deprived childhood and I would have to have
counseling for it.....
A doorstep of bread... is a real old fashion English saying for a very thick slice.

I knew exactly what you meant by doorstep! My English born Grandmother used to make very thin sliced cucumber sandwiches for visitors, for afternoon tea, plus there were usually very nice cakes or biscuits she made, also. She loved fruitcake. It is a shame the afternoon tea ritual seem to have died out, & none of our children- adults now of course!- even drink tea! Neither do I but I loved coffee when younger, & now I love mint tea.
This brings back so many happy memories. When we were at my Nans the butcher used to visit and we used to have a doorstop with homemade jam (didn't realise there was an alternative) and cream! Yum!
