Early to bed, early to rise? You're probably a baker! In the summer of 1998, I remember catching the red eye back from Lyon, France. Well before sunrise, whilst walking to the bus stop where I would catch the 'navette' to the airport, my eye caught the only bright light and movement I would see before the bus arrived - in the bakery! There, a man was busy setting up shop for the day's customers and it dawned on me: it takes not only skill, but a lot of commitment to be an independent baker.
