End of an era

After almost 4 years, and almost daily use, the bread making machine we bought spring '00 - or at least the motor that drives the kneading paddle - packed up. At a marginal cost of somewhere between 5p and 10p per loaf, that still works out pretty economical. Time for an upgrade, with an automatic raisin dispenser (rather than a beep to say "throw the lumps in now"), I think.
