It has been a tough decision, however, Plough Creek Cooking School is going into hibernation for a while. The love and interest in food, cooking and lifestyle will continue via the blog and Facebook, but classes will not be available until further notice. Of course, the wining, dining and sharing food experiences with other like-minded foodies simply cannot stop. We enjoy the art of conviviality way too much.
What a year …. I don’t know about you, but does it just seem like a few weeks ago that we were wishing each other happy festive season for 2014? Numerous life events have changed plans for us at various times. I am OK with that – life happens on you way to a good time (think John Lennon once said something along those lines). However, some of the things I do enjoy doing in the lead up to the festive season have been side lined or altered this year.
Firstly, I need to mention that this time last year I was waiting for some results, after hearing for the second time in my life, “you have cancer”. Obviously the results came back with positive outcomes and I have had a year reflecting on the benefits of good health. Not to make too fine a point – but we really should stop occasionally and recall how precious our lives and health are. It is not just the physical I am talking about, but also the mental and spiritual. Do you stop and do a stock take of yourself? Are you doing OK?
Secondly, I changed jobs and the consequences of that decision need to be worked through over the next 6 months….watch this space on that call!
Lead up to the 2015 festive season has been without the usual flurry of cooking in the PCH kitchen. Namely, as I have not spent a lot of time there the last few months. Right now, I am sitting in an incredible English kitchen writing this post. We are on a long planned trip to have Christmas in England, with our dearest friends the Wilberforces. I had hoped for a white Christmas but the weather goddesses have decided maybe not. Nevertheless it is chilly and does put a very different feel to the normal hot dry Aussie festive season.
During this trip we have a few eating events planned, so it will be a pleasure to share those reflections with you over coming weeks.
In the meantime have a wonderful festive season filled with happy tastings. Be safe happy and healthy and remember, a random act of kindness can change some ones day beyond measure!
