When I left school I trained as a chef,worked in 5*London hotel for a few years. Drifted into transport planning,retired, do most of the cooking at home. Now have more time to play (experiment) in the kitchen, like to add my own twist to recipes ( my wife calls it 'tampering'!) bake bread and make / decorate novelty cakes for family and close friends. Two daughters and three grandchildren. Celebrated Ruby wedding anniversary with wife Pam 2014.
