I've got it !!

Picking_elderflower_3

I knew it was coming, but like giving birth it's still a surprise when it happens ... almost unexpected, despite weeks of anticipation.  There it was, wrapped in a white envelope, just casually left on the doorstep by my postman.  This creation. This book filled with all my hopes and dreams.  As it happened I was multitasking with an interview from a journalist Ruth Supple from our local Northamptonshire magazine and a photo shoot of picking elderflowers for the recipe in my column for The Chronicle & Echo.  ( The photos above are with kind permission from the Chronicle & Echo )

I held off opening it whilst I cooked lunch, and then sat at the table to open this creation. I was nervous.  My hands shook a little as I opened the envelope.  There were tears.  You can hear it as it happened below.  

This it the end of this journey and the start of a whole new adventure for I am now an actual author. not a soon to be one,  but a a real one.

If you are reading my blog I must warn you that I am not impartial. I want to influence you. I want to make you stop for just a moment and consider the effect of a lifetime of seemingly insignificant decisions and how making small delicious choices can change the world.

I believe that we can change the world one bite at a time.

It's a delicious revolution.
