What are these barrels used for?

The large ones are for wine, keeping larger quantities in one barrel so the taste is easier to control than smaller barrels.

Fixed a boiler this morning

Not helped by the fact that the tenants can. Barely speak English

Do you mean it was difficult to find out from them what the problem was?

Doing a sourdough course this morning

Many years ago I made sourdough starter in the airing cupboard. The bread was very tangy. I wondered whether I'd actually ended up culturing the athlete's foot off my towel.

They were on about some thing ref sour dough starter on the radio the other day

In the US they have a sour dough starter that dates back to 1830 some thing ???

It’s reckoned. To be older but they can only prove 1830

They send bits of it on request all over the world

Looks great Bod. Where did you go and how much was it? Been looking online and some courses are £300 for the day. I found this one for only £165 for the whole day. https://hackneybreadkitchen.co.uk/learn-to-bake-copy/
I might think of that and treat my daughter too as she's into all that sort of stuff.
