We just got back from a few days away in London.
I especially wanted to attend a one-day seminar being organised for ‘Women in Energy’ in London plus we had public holidays in the Netherlands so we all trooped over. The seminar was all about taking your ambitions to the next level.

I’m going….only a few weeks more! If I were to describe my excitement
-
As a drink, I would be Champagne, bubbling and frothing over….
-
And if excitement was a condiment - it would definitely be Ginger jam – hot, sweet and warming all at once

A fragrance? For sure

I love blogging….from the bottom of my heart. Just having a place to winge talk about adventures gone wrong…. and those successful. I often wonder if blogging is counter intuitive – connecting with other people across geographic boundaries, a modern day pen-palling. A chance to learn, laugh and cry with people who you’ve never seen…some you’ll never see…but still we forge ahead. Glad we’ve found a place to share out stories, a ‘sphere to inspire and most of all comfort for our souls – we’re not alone in our love, in our passion, with our desires for FOOD.
And that Ladies and Gentlemen is the reason for my joy…’cause I’ll have the chance to meet some food bloggers in a matter of weeks at the Food bloggers connect conference!

Manchester, 1990: Unfortunately, this B&B doesn’t offer a Continental breakfast. When I try a cracker with jam, I almost spit it out because it tastes so foul. When I look up from my plate, I see everyone in the breakfast room is staring at me. An old man at the table beside me coughs. ‘You can’t eat it like that, you know,’ he whispers. ‘You need to …..
