wow were these good..the end of my snack night, and what a great ending. I discovered to late my whipping cream had gone off so used custard cream instead of the homemade devonshire. Either way they were so light and airy and lemony without being overpowering i was thrilled. Never been to Norma's but if theirs is half as good as yours, then they deserve high prices :) Made for Newest Zaar Tag

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
