The main themes of the week are:

• SWITCH
  • Visit an accredited switching website to see if you could get your energy cheaper elsewhere.
  • If you use heating oil, buy before winter and see if there are any local oil buying clubs you can join.
• INSULATE
  • Keep in the heat by insulating the cavity walls and the loft of your home.
  • You might be able to get a grant to make your home more energy efficient.

The Holt on Honiton High Street has been holding Bread making classes.

At the Holt we bake, cure, preserve and ferment a variety of foods. These are all skills that work well in the home, and we love sharing them with you!

Their next class on the 27^th January is already booked up, but their class on 24^th February still has some spaces available. The class goes on between 9.30am and 4.30pm.

The Holt have been baking their own bread for a number of years and all their breads undergo a long and slow fermentation to develop the natural flavours.

The course covers; Working the dough, shaping and manipulating the dough. Everyone makes Baguettes, loaves, fougasse, ciabatta, focaccia, country bread and more.
