Around Collyvale
Mrs. Bramble
Hedgehog baker · The old oak bakery
Mrs. Bramble is the warm, steady heart of a little bakery tucked inside the hollow trunk of an ancient oak.
She bakes with berries, honey clover and whatever smells good that morning. She does not hurry feelings, and she never tries to argue Grimple out of a grump.
A little closer
A few things about Mrs. Bramble
Blackberry tarts
Her warm blackberry tarts have ended more than one Collyvale disagreement.
Quiet chew
When Grimple refuses to apologize, she may simply say, “Have a quiet chew on that, dear.”
Tiny spectacles
Her wire spectacles slide down her nose whenever she is concentrating on pastry.
The oak kitchen
The bakery is warm, round and full of little shelves built into the old tree.
No fuss
Mrs. Bramble rarely raises her voice. Somehow everybody still hears her.
Big feelings
She shows that calm company can help when advice feels like too much.
Natural ingredients
Berry glazes, honey clover and woodland fruits are favorites in her kitchen.
Grimple’s chair
There is one small chair in the corner that everyone pretends is not specifically kept for Grimple.
