Hi Barb, BRILLIANT to get your email this morning. Would love to keep corresponding as we have loads in common!!! My email address is litlonfarm@tiscali.co.uk so if you want to reply, do it direct, much easier. So sorry to hear you're estranged from your daughter, must be a huge worry for you. And so sad not to see your granddaughters. Winchcombe is not a million miles from me (looks a really pretty place) - my eldest daughter lives in Cheltenham most of the week and back here as well as it's nearer to where she works. She's 27 and should have been getting married in September but they've postponed it for the moment. I have another daughter of 25 who is in her second year at uni in Bristol (she had 5 gap years!!) and a son of 22 who has done uni, is working in a primary school this year and back to uni in September to do a PGCE to become a primary school teacher. So I still have all three at home at least some of the time which I love. Both the girls have spent some time in Oz; Claire while her boyfriend was in Afghanistan year before last and Charli last summer for a few weeks. They both had a fabulous time and did lots of travelling around and staying with various friends we have over there.
I actually went to see Cyndi O'Meara couple of months ago. She was over here on a tour and hooked up with Thermomix. I bought all her books but have to admit - other than making CADA a few times - I haven't put any of it into practice as yet. I'm a dreadful procrastinator!!! Now the wedding is off, my husband has reclaimed his 60th birthday so we're having a party on 1st August and I really should be getting my arse into gear with all of that but don't know really where to start!.
Tell your friend Martyn to get in touch with me - I'd be more than happy to go do a demo. Can combine it with visiting my daughter in Cheltenham. Hey it's SO nice to chat to you!!! I do hope we can keep this going.
Gotta dash as dog walking with a friend in a few minutes. Might try making soap in TM when I get back - will let you know how it turns out!!
Hope to hear from you soon
Jean
