Influence(r)s.

Looking back I’ve always been fascinated by food, whether “helping” my mother or Granny in the kitchen at an early age or being transfixed by Miss Hobby, my first Cookery teacher. She was of the jolly-hockeysticks brigade who had a very sensible way of teaching. She left the High School and Mrs.White arrived, with tales of her husband and his motor bike. Then we moved house and I met Mrs. Maltby and Miss Gatley who took an instant dislike to me and declared I’d never make any good of myself…So a variety of influences by the time I was eighteen. Fast forward to life today and the influencers now seem to upload videos to tik-tok, strangers, yet widely admired by the young people of today. Parents no longer seem to have any input, rather having become sidelined and declared old-fashioned. We have a wealth of experience to share and some wisdom too, so take a moment to consider who is the best person to ask. x
