From Kitchen Porter to Chef .
He started part time as a Kitchen Porter.
When he passed his driving test he was promoted to Baguette chef with almost full time hours.
Now Andrew has been having some real Chef training.
Yesterday he did some over time and made 160 portions of Lasagne.
He bought some home for us to try and it was delicious.
Hopefully after Christmas sometime he will start his NVQ Chef training.
How cool is that 🙂
That is the best way to describe Sundays walk from St Ives
We did a 14 mile circular walk along the Ouse Valley way to Earith.
Although very wet and muddy under foot we did have a lovely sunny day with blue skies.
At one point it became so muddy we made our way to the Guided bus track and walked back into St Ives along the track.
Interestingly we saw many many other people walking along the track too 🙂
During this walk we crossed the Meridian Line so the photo below shows me standing on the line, one leg in the West the other in the East
Other photos can be seen here
I just read a blog post over at Murry Newlands.
His advice about blogging is blog about what you want.
So what do I want.
More Massage Clients is the answer.
If you live in the Downham Market / Kings Lynn area call me and give me what I want 🙂
Also available in Cambridge on a Saturday or Monday.
Now its your turn…Â what do you want ???
A bit late I know but I finally got round to baking our Christmas cake tonight.
For some reason I really wanted to make a square cake this year but decided i could not afford a new baking tin.
So its the usual round cake again,next year i will have that square tin though.
Will feed it with Brandy for the next 2 weeks before I marzipan and Ice it .
Lets hope it tastes as good as it smells 🙂
Even at the age of 17 and 21 my boys like an advent calendar.
This year I dug out one they had as little boys and filled the days with a chocolate each.
Needless to say they were well pleased.
It just reminds me how much I have to do in the next 25 days
Yesterday I made my last batch of Jam for this year.
The Damsons had been a gift from someone at work.
They have been sat in the freezer just waiting for me to find time for Jam making.
My friend was pleased with her Jar of Jam and I must say it is rather delicious.
Lets hope I have time to make some Scones tomorrow to go with the Jam.
Next I have to find time to bake the Christmas cake 🙂
That best describes our week-end in Brighton 🙂
Oh and lets not forget expensive 🙁
It was Great to see Emily though.
We also got a fab, if very wet walk over the South Downs and a very nice Sunday pub lunch so all was not bad

Recently I changed Internet providers. I changed for 2 reasons… a) to save some money I am disappointed to admit that I have failed miserably to achieve either. Within a week I had used over my months download limit so had to upgrade my package. No matter what time of day I try BBC Iplayer and ITV catch up they will not stream with out constantly having to re-load. To keep my custom AOL offered me an unlimited package for 15 pounds a month. If I had stayed with them at least I would have saved some money. I also wonder if I would have been better off with 02 broadband But I suspect my problems are more to do with where I live 🙁
Disappointing BT Internet
b) for a better connection so I could stream BBC Iplayer.
