    Finally!
    I have fond a job on a local pig farm, in a tea room -and i love it.Part time from now on but i have done extra shifts this last fortnight to help get the place up and running.
    Kitchen assistant,come washer upper,waitress,etc..
    I think i must have made about 30 quiches in the last 2 weeks,chocolate cakes,pans of stew,all kinds of comfort foods.I [​IMG] it.
    They`ve also built a butchers shop on the farm so we bake alot to sell there. We do have a chef,but he works different days to me so i get to experiment.And yes,i`ve had a couple of disasters.
    It takes me and my sister in law about 20 minuites to walk to work via the old railway line so i`ll have to remember to take the camera as the views are lovely.Also the actual farm shop is set in beautiful surroundings with a huge pond with a mini waterfall which runs under the actual tea room to a wheel which generates electricity.It`s all so quaint.Although, I did have to don me wellies yesterday as we`ve had alot of rain and no doubt it`s goona get worse but i don`t care.
    Oh, and i`ll own up now.I intend nicking a few recipes from all of you.Hope you don`t mind. [​IMG] :D

    Thanks for the support folks.Yor right roders, it`s been a good year.Although Mr.fiz went a funny colour at one point when i jokingly said we should keep a cake for the christening. I almost took a job in Wikinsons whilst waiting for the council to finish building the by-pass, which hopefully will bring alot of extra trade to the farm.
    I`m glad i listened to my belly and waited.
