Soooo… Mick just finished the big edit of my very first cooking lesson. With butterflies in my tummy and hope in my heart, here it is. This is our very first attempt so a huge thank you to Laurie-Ève Barriault for taking your time to come over and film me…
Since my exit from the “office world” lots has been going on. I’ve been trying to blog more, trying (not very successfully) to get my website going, making and selling jams and jellies and salsas (so far) and have recorded my first video. All this is in the name of…
