Send us Fan MailSitting across from my dad, Bob Burns, MBE, the conversation illuminates with tales of his Australian adventures and quiet moments playing chess with my son, Louie.

He shares insights into the resilience of my grandmother, his entrepreneurial ventures, and how these experiences have shaped his approach to business and giving back. The narrative unfolds, revealing how our family bakery, Burns the Bread, has woven itself into the fabric of Glastonbury's community, paralleling the story of Bob's own growth and the pride of an MBE honour—a symbol of the indelible mark one's work can leave on the world.Wrapping up our exchange, we stumble upon a previously forgotten question, a moment that encapsulates the essence of our interactions.
