Hi All! Thought at long last I'd fill in my 'me' page! I live in Bristol,UK with my wonderful Husband of ten years and my beautiful Siamese cats and have recently become a first time Mummy to a gorgeous little man called Alex. He is a handsome fella but then again I am entitled to be biased!!!! I collect cookery books but rarely use them as I always play around with recipes until they suit my palate. I love being around my family and close friends. All time spent with them is precious. People that are rude is my major peeve. Doesn't take anything to smile does it? Also people that don't like to try new foods I don't understand either. My motto is try if you don't like it spit it out!!!
