Bread & muffins - and a lot more besides
Many times when we have driven down to Scarborough we have seen a blackboard sign for a small bakery near Burniston, but every time we have been there the Eco Bakery has been closed, and nowadays we are interested in the "eco" aspect more than ever. Today, after 3 years of regularly passing, we found Boundary Cottage Bakery open for the first time. They only open on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 2:00 p.m. We were greeted by Jo who had just boiled the kettle, so very kindly offered us a coffee while we sampled her delicious muffins and bread. This is a true cottage industry business as samples of Trevor's (Jo's husband) rustic furniture were also on display as were some socks made from Angorra wool. Outside the small shop, which is a converted garage, there were various jars of produce and local organic vegetables. The next time we go to Scarborough we will have to make it a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday so we can have some more muffins and a pleasant chat.
