Wow you are double lucky, fantastic wife and working with James Martin! You will find lots of support and a fantastic Thermomix community all around the world, there's not as many of us in the UK as there is in other countries but the number is growing all the time!

Thank you for the warm welcome goldfish and Cornish Cream (can I tag you somehow?).

I was going off Facebook fast until I opened the group Cornish Cream, now I found a lovely little place to be there.

goldfish, thanks so much for visitingd passing the link on!

I am currently trying to find my way around the forum, it may take me a little while.

Hi all,

After hearing so much about Forum Thermomix for a while, I finally decided to join at Joanne T Ferguson's recommendation. I am from Spain and there has been a Thermie at my mother's place since the very early eighties (that one still works). I myself live in the UK and year and a bit ago I took the plunge and bought my own TM31. I really really wish I had bought it years ago.

When I have time I blog my recipes at http://www.feistytapas.com and I run the newly formed Thermomix Owners UK Facebook group  at https://www.facebook.com/groups/166325993561929, the group has turned out to be one of the best ideas I have ever had, it is full of lovely UK owners and demonstrators sharing and giving advice.

Oh and I am a bit of a Thermie recipe junkie, but you will soon realise that, I only wish I had more time in my hands to try more of everyone's recipes but I do work as a freelance translator so that tends to get in the way a bit

I keep on saying I need a holiday with my Thermie and have got it in my mind that one day we should have residential Thermie courses in the UK

Now off to meet you all

Maria
