Hi there, here is a little about me…
I like to get involved in local arts and craft classes. It is a really good way to stay in contact with my friends, we enjoy a good catch up.
I enjoy baking, using my Kenwood mixer, my favourite cake is tea bread and I like to share it amongst family and friends, the secret is to soak the fruit in apple juice overnight.
I enjoy singing at my weekly class and I even make up my own songs when walking around my home from time to time.
If you think you would enjoy being a part of my team, please apply.
