Thank You to everyone who has posted kind comments enquiring after my health and well-being - I am truly blessed to 'know' such a lovely bunch of folkAnd thanks MWC for the rhubarb recipe - I made a version of it, using red lentils and put in some ginger, lemon & cinnamon - turned out great and is a keeper of a recipe
So, to why I've been absent. Turns out my liking for a challenge knows no bounds, and I've been baking, baking, baking.....................

Holy cow.
What fantastic, fantastic, fantastic news. Infinite congratulations on all fronts.
Wow... just wow.
You have every reason to be AWOL now but I'm hoping for updates from time to time, perhaps? Awww.
I just had a message saying one of my learners has passed an exam resit - English is his fifth language, and he was studying via the internet without home internet access - it's been a great morning.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
