Retired (formerly a teacher for 25 years and also worked for a national utility company). Single, demon cook, have earned my living for a while, working around the "career" jobs catering dinner parties (very fashionable until the recent financial pinch). Member of the Women's Institute, horse owner. Own over 300 cookery books.
Cooking, eating (sadly for my waistline), collecting cookery books (over 300 to date), my horse, knitting, etc.
Don’t look for the light at the end of the tunnel. Stomp along and switch the bl**dy thing on yourself.
