Sourdough

I've spent the last few days trying to resurrect my sourdough starter which has been languishing, forgotten, at the back of the fridge for nigh on a year. I haven't been making any sourdough bread for a long, long time, buying it instead from Aldi, which is easy, but it's also now expensive and isn't real sourdough anyway - no supermarket-bought sourdough is.

By rights my starter should be dead as a Dodo but, miraculously, I managed to bring it back to life. It's now all frothy and veritably jumping with yeast cultures. Baked several loaves with it and the taste is heavenly - the sourness really comes through. 

I originally made the culture some 8 years ago (I think), but added some (allegedly) 100 year old culture from Cumbria that I bought on e-Bay, so it's a melange, but old.
