Today has been one of those cold, drizzly days
so I decided to make some bread in my lovely Hovis loaf tins,
we got them from Tanner & Lawson in London's Columbia Road when we were there at Christmas.
Above the shelf was a card explaining how a small family bakery had closed down in Wales due to a supermarket opening up so Tanner & Lawson acquired the stock of Hovis tins used for generations to bake the wonderful bread.
It goes on to say they now have a new life as planters for herbs or to hold pens.

Not my Hovis tins, they're to carry on baking bread in, I'd butter you a slice but there's only a few crumbs left.....

Loving the tins, its nice you are using them for their original use and not growing things in them.
Sadly in our house any foodie makes dont last long either!
What a great find! Your bread looks fantastic!

Hello, we are sooo happy you are using these to bake bread again. All that heritage in every loaf you bake! Hopefully the first of many more.
See you again soon!
