Digging in to homegrown loaves
FROM seed to sandwich, Horsley youngsters are growing their own loaf.
They joined forces with baker Tom Herbert to plant a patch of wheat in Horsley School's playground yesterday.

earning a crust: Horsley School pupils Eve Robinson, 10, Izzy Hawkins, 10, Missy Jones, 10, Lottie Brind, 10, and Freya Hodgson, 11, with baker Tom Herbert in the school's garden.
Tom, baker at Nailsworth's Hobbs House, launched the Bake Your Lawn challenge.
"This is where the natural magic begins and gives real meaning to the saying 'dig in'. It takes about one square metre of land to make one loaf," said Tom, who appears in Channel 4's The Fabulous Baker Brothers.
Horsley head teacher Martin Fry said: "Bake Your Lawn helps pupils understand how real bread is made, taking them on an inspirational journey from seed to sandwich."
Anyone can join the challenge. Find out more at the www.real breadcampaign.org.
