Country Living: Our Man in Arundel

Here is today's bakery update.

The bakery is definitely under new management, although it’s reassuring to see the same staff working behind the counter. Well, they’re working behind the counter now – there wasn’t really a counter in the old shop.

The new shop seems to be positioning itself as a ‘specialist’, using locally-produced flour and cooking some unusual breads. It’s probably the only way that independent retailers can make much money in towns such as Arundel.

Anyway, this morning’s chocolate brownie set me back £1.50… and was big enough for two. I did it the honour of dividing it in half and enjoying it with two cups of coffee.
