I don’t always have time on my hands to make sourdough using traditional methods. And when this happens, I turn to my bread maker. This sourdough wholemeal bread maker loaf turned out quite well.

I am going to digress from my builders saga today as my mind is focussing on the pandemic and how lucky we have been. And how sadness creeps up without warning. It has been over a year since the word Covid-19 entered our vocabulary. And nearly a year since we started using the term lockdown to refer to our lives. In that time, we have had a few friends who have fallen ill with the virus, but only one has passed away. He had lived a full life and probably would not have lived for much longer, despite the pandemic. My family has remained healthy and all have had different experiences of the situation. In Australia their lives have carried on mostly as usual. Whereas my cousins and aunt in England have spent much of the time sheltering. Mark’s life seems to have been mostly unaffected, despite living in Europe.

He has been hyper aware and thankfully in The Netherlands his job is still considered essential and he is working. But, it has been a long time since we have seen him. I have remained hopeful that our trip to the UK in June will happen. But this seems more and more unlikely as their cases rise, and we don’t have the vaccine. And even when we do have access, I am not eligible for it straight away. But the sadness I feel is not about missing out on a holiday. It comes when I watch videos of people giving thanks to our health care workers. They have seen so much death for so long and they are mentally exhausted. I was especially moved when community members in Cape Town sang prayers for the health workers and Covid patients. If you have the time, please listen.

The Singing was very moving.
It really was!
Aww Tandy, I hope you get to the UK in June despite all. And what a great recipe~ I confess I still need to use my bread maker. It’s time =)
I hope this inspires you!
It’s sad that you have so little hope of vaccine. The new covid variants that have evolved in South Africa, Brazil, and the UK are especially concerning. Travel possibilities are not looking optimistic.

I am trying to be realistic, given my age 🙂
it’s amazing the different experiences people and countries have had with COVID. The video you shared of the singing was just beautiful…
Thank you for watching 🙂
