Yesterday I was in Cambridge to do some massage work.
I went to the solicitors Birketts where over 50 ladies gathered together for Christmas drinks.
The theme of the party was Shoes…. basically they had to turn up wearing their posh shoes.
I was there to give foot massages to their aching feet.
The party went well and the some of the shoes were out of this world.
My Indian head massage course at the college in Kings Lynn is going well.
I am really enjoying the massage but the course is not so nice as the Swedish body massage course.
In my opinion it needs to be a longer course which would make it more relaxing and enjoyable.
I feel everything is done in a rush….. which does not suit my character.
We have now started on our 3 case studies…. of course I used Geoff for one and he gave me some great feed back.
Next we had to pick someone from our class, I picked sally a girl I have worked with many times and who also did the body massage course with me.
After Christmas we have to do our last case study and hopefully I have someone lined up ready to do that.
I know the routine well, now I just have to slow it down and get the timing just right.
At this time of year I get very stressed but tonight’s massage has left me feeling very relaxed. 🙂
A memo came round work today.
It informed us that we are not allowed to discuss up and coming offers out
side of work or on the Internet.
So if you want to know when the half price salmons are in for Christmas.
I am afraid I cannot tell you.

I think this one would make a great Christmas card …
Another cake recipe taken from the book Emily and Mark bought me last Christmas.
Knowing how much Geoff loves ginger I just had to make this cake for him…
Honey and spice cake
3cm piece of root ginger peeled.
125g runny honey
50g golden syrup
140g unsalted butter
50g dark brown soft sugar
2 eggs
40g rye flour
100g self raising flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground allspice.
Grate the ginger onto some muslin and squeeze the ginger juice into a bowl.
In a saucepan over low heat warm the honey, syrup,butter and sugar till hot and butter is melted.
Remove from heat and whisk using an electric mixer for 2 1/2 min’s then add eggs and ginger juice. whisk for another 2 1/2 min’s.
The mixture should have cooled lightened and thickened.
Sift the flours , baking powder and spices.
Fold dry ingredients into the honey mixture, which will be unusually wet.
pour into loaf tin and bake in centre of oven at 170 for 50 to 60 min’s.
Leave to cool in the tin.
I can tell you it smells divine and has a slightly sticky top but we shall have to wait till the week-end before Geoff can tell us what it tastes like 🙂
Recently a local business man contacted me,to inquire about some massage gift vouchers.
Basically it works like this….he pays for a massage I send him a voucher, which he then gives to someone for a Christmas gift.
They then make an appointment with me and has a massage in the comfort of their own home, that is already paid for. 
Now what better Christmas gift is there, it needs no looking after , no dusting,takes up no room and is pure pleasure.
Perfect as a gift for a couple that has every thing.
So if you live in the Downham market/Kings Lynn area and are looking for that perfect Christmas gift look no further……… I also work in Cambridge/Huntington Area at weekends
Ring or E-mail me for A Christmas massage gift voucher.

But have you no taste…
Mamma Mia was the most cheesy film I have ever seen, it was just awful.
Not a patch on Kill Point which I am just Loving.
My readers that have been following me for a while will know how I struggle with my
skiing.
I have to really psyche myself up and its a real case of facing my fears..
This week-end trip to Les Gets was not for skiing but just relaxing and doing some snow shoe walking.
We woke to lovely snow this morning so I encouraged Geoff to go out on his snowboard for a
few local runs,as the chair lift was open.
Later in the day we got some snow shoes and had a walk up the mountain, it was beautiful and so peaceful.
It was also hard work and we certainly burn some calories.
Now we have had a practice run we hope to go up even higher tomorrow weather permitting.
