We make bread. It's unique to Squash and to the bacteria on the hands of bakers Julie & Edi.

There's a fascinating Gastropod podcast from 2017 on this - link in our stories and bio...."when the researchers swabbed the bakers’ clean, washed hands and cultured the resulting microbes, they found that the bakers’ hand microbiomes were a bit different to other people’s. They looked more like the sourdough starters’ microbial makeup, suggesting that perhaps the constant dunking of their hands in acidic bread dough influenced the survival of the fittest on bakers’ hands and produced a different set of tiny inhabitants."

Celebrating Autumn Equinox at Squash with communi

Celebrating Autumn Equinox at Squash with community members last weekend was such a hopeful time. Big thanks to all who passed by, stayed a while, joined in, danced in the street & who offered up hope.
Our collaborators Alternative Infrastructure @alternativeinfrastructure returned to Windsor Street (and the front room) to collect ‘Pieces of Hope’ from neighbours, visitors and community members. This active collection of thoughts and ideas; hopes and dreams is a further step towards envisioning the 100 Year Street for the community based in and around the Windsor Street neighbourhood.
The responses collected over the Equinox Weekender will become part of the ‘100-Year Street News’— a publication sharing community action and collective narratives.

The Equinox Weekender is part of ‘Seeds of Hope’: a series of hopeful happenings taking place all across the UK this autumn, with community growing and nature connection at their heart.

Inspiring community-led events are taking place all across the UK with support from @jrf_uk – from Inverness to Hastings via Liverpool, Powys, Bristol and beyond – reflecting the hope and solidarity we know exists in communities everywhere, and inviting all of us to get behind it.

Amid concern about the rise of far-right populism and widespread feelings of fatalism, these celebrations of amazing people and communities growing hope and building belief in better futures are exactly what we need right now.
