Parnassus 1. 1. Here, where time seems to have stopped. Here, where the land is abandoned, sacrificed daily to useless memories and heroic songs. Here, where blood seems fruitless. Here, in the stillness of the cemetery, I’ve still found the […]

an unexpected discovery..

Offere II Our sourdough bread culture – which will be three years old in October – has travelled with us from Oxford to South Africa, Hull to London and formed the basis for khlebolsony rituals at multiple thresholds. It has […]
