Field Notes

Small observations from walks, trains and kitchens.

Morning light on the bay

Fog lifted around nine. The ferries ran half empty and the gulls had the pier to themselves.

Notes on slow bread

Twenty hours of cold proofing, a hotter oven, and less fuss. The crust finally sings when it cools.

A rainy afternoon at the library

Found an old atlas with hand-drawn rail lines. Some of them were never built.
