Hello from North Yorkshire-UK

[Katya]

Nice to see you again Joolsmicra and glad to hear all is going so well.    I think there are some advanced cookery courses run by TMX UK but they tend to be down south.     We need to campaign for more activity up here - maybe we should plan a get-together for us northerners?

200g parmesan block
200g celery

1 tomato
1 courgette
1 garlic clove
50g fresh mushrooms
1 bay leaf

Hi again Katya!........yup its going brill at the mo! Its been an absolute boon when we were clipping and doing the hay!
I know Coghlans in Chesterfield used to do some classes but dont now due to lack of interest (I think they were £150 tho!!!!!).An owners conference would be brilliant though, if they did a weekend! I might even venture down south for that!

Hello and welcome from West Yorkshire.

[passionflower]

Thank you everyone 
Ok day 3 and I haven't heard from the local demonstrator, time for sending another polite email methinks.

[Amanda]

Ooh, that's frustrating when you are so very keen!
Hope you are using the time to go through this wonderful resource - welcome!

Thank you everyone

It is Amanda I cannot wait!! I am also off for a fabulous family vacation soon and I want to get something sorted out before I leave, however I am aware that IT IS OUR SUMMER holiday so people might be enjoying sun in other parts of the world  . I am sure I will hear something soon. 
AND YES I am trawling the threads I nearly died when I found a recipe for zakusca, I was born in the heart of Transilvania and every summer when the veg were dirt cheap and fresh on the market my grandma and my mum used to can this delicious sauce which we used as a spread during winter months. It is absolutely delicious and I think I will attempt this before the stock when I get my thermie LOL.

hi and welcome monica..im over in France and lovvvvve the thermomix... i hope you get an answer soon...funny as I found the Uk office very helpful (buying books) but maybe the consultant they directed you to is very busy and like you said its summer break well is it in the UK?? yes I think it is..how is it in the UK in summer...i ask as in France as im sure your aware everything shuts down especially businesses unless they are in a tourist region or area    Hope you get an answer and things sorted out before your holiday 

[Cornish Cream]

We don't have a designated summer holiday break here in the UK Frozzie.Most working people take part of their annual holiday during the summer but everything is open and it's business as usual.School children are on their long summer holiday(six weeks),they return to school usually during the first week of September.

[Frozzie]

makes sense re businesses being open ..i find its mainly the latin european countries that have summer breaks and everything closes down...so the school holidays are fairly similar except france is 8 weeks and they also go back first week in september!  Thank goodness its nearly over as I find it eternally long and teachers here still complain they dont get enough of a break (seriously arrggh!!)

[Katya]

Why don't you ring the UK Office again passionflower and ask if they know if the consultant is away...   you may get a quicker response than if you use email

[passionflower]

IS DONE guys!! I had a lovely chat with Jo and she is coming over on the 26 August to do a demo in my home and do my training afterwards, I just need to get my food hygiene organized and I am set to go, so very excited. How many people is best to invite do you think?
I looked at the ingredient list and she will be cooking masses of stuff for us all, YUMMY!!!
 

[Frozzie]

so your on a roll then!!! sorry cant help with how many but Im sure another consutant or someone who knows will reply....we dont have at all the same demo...I wouldnt invite too many though and keep them as future clients for once your a consultant!  That my two cents anyway lol 

[passionflower]

Ok guys a bit of an update, I had the demo today as well as my training and I LOVED IT ALL!!! what's even better is that my machine comes tomorrow, what's even better than that is that my lovely hubby bought it for me which was such a surprise. I was going to pay for it myself and get the extended plan but he just took his card our and said I will pay for it.
I am sooo very excited, I have my sister and her family arriving tonight so i cannot wait to cook for them all weekend using the thermie.
Off I go to find some nice recipes on the forum. Hugs xxx
