This week was bread week in the Bake-Off tent, which led to a decent handful of different shapes and sizes of loaf to enjoy, though that’s nature.There was plenty to be impressed with during tonight’s of the show; so much so, it put the loaf of Kingsmill in my glove compartment to shame. My favourite of all night, however: was the showstopper put forward by Raoal, which was ornate to the point of being ridiculous; never before has bread looked so pretty.

She has one of my favourite female voices, yet despite this, I only own one CD and that’s just a single (her '97 release ‘Hard to Make a Stand’); on that basis, you can only imagine how much of her back catalogue I’d own if I hated her (it would fall into minus-figures). Dylan, conversely, takes up more of my collection than anyone else, save The Beatles and Paul McCartney’s solo work. He’s one of those artists who, when you get him, you really get him - and once I’d tuned into his style as a student, I'd time and again be blown away by his lyrics; he’ll have more jaw-dropping imagery in one track than other people fit in a whole career.
