Second attempt at making bread - made bread pudding! Perfectly edible, especially with honey spread on it - but sweet and stodgy rather than bread. Relaxing evening watching TV and early night was a lovely change after hectic week.

I went home once they started shopping as there was not much I needed. We shared the wraps, having half of each one each. They were excellent and very filling.
