Of course, 12 years ago my former GP did think I was mad (he hadn't looked in the mirror recently) and banged me up in a psychiatric hospital (called 'Mum's Nuthouse period' in our home). Funnily enough the REAL psychiatrists weren't so convinced and I have them to thank for saving my life that first time (yes, there were other less dramatic occasions). High blood pressure, palpitations, migraines and vomiting aren't that common among 'fruitcakes' I'm sure, but they are common with certain tumours of the adrenal gland. I eventually named mine 'Tyson' after the rather mean boxer. No offence to anyone who 'does a stint in the nuthouse' by the way - they did some great work and I even made some (relatively sane) friends there! I use the term 'fruitcake' affectionately too.......
No, this time it could be true!
I took April off from the Pennington Pop-Up Restaurant. I was so busy at AMEND and just couldn't work out what to do for the best; Austrian, Arabian or Albanian April. None of them sounded right. How does anyone deep fry 15 Weiner Schnitzls in an ordinary kitchen anyway?!
So we're already into May now and I really can't take another month off or I won't stand a chance of reaching my £3000 target. It was always going to be Moroccan May too, and that is so relevant to the Trek that it has to be done! Problem is, we're just as busy, if not more so!
Never fear, the emails are sent, the posters are up and the fliers are ready. Now for the menu.......!
It gives me a great excuse to clean the house (it doesn't get done often) and catch up with friends - hopefully ones who bring large wallets!
