Sorry about the lack of blogging last week, I was just in the middle of a hugely interesting article on the effects that Chistina Aguilera's boob job has had on goat sales in the lower Andes when mother rang to say she was just popping across to the continent in order to invade Belgium. "Mother," I said, "You can't do that." "They've had it coming," she replied. "Actually what I meant was, there's only one of you, Belgium is a big place, it's at least a two person job." So there we go, I talked myself in to invading Belguim, thus the lack of articles, there was a terrible political mess to sort out, and then, just when I returned on Saturday, Rolf Harris exploded, bits of beard and green paint all over the place. Well, it's either that or the summer season is upon me and I was buried in work. I would just like to say a huge thankyou to all my regular staff and especially to the irregulars who turned out for me this weekend. The magnificent regulars.........Carol, Rick, Rachel, Robyn, Rebecca, Adam (No chef ? Hopefully I'll explain in a later post.) The wonderful irregulars.........J, Chez, Squirt, Christine, without whom I'm quite certain I would have had a nervous breakdown by Saturday.
