The ends of the earth.

My last job involved me travelling to a beautiful if inaccesible part of the world. I was working on a location shoot for another cookery programme, this time for a new chef on the block. The view from where I was chopping/cooking/baking was to die for. I realised the draw-back in living in such an untouched part of the world when I had to pick up grocery supplies and some props, a road trip would be a more accurate description than picking up some bits and pieces. The round trip which did involve almost two hours in the supermarket took 7 hours. I should have brought me a packed lunch. All saying that I'd be back in a flash, the beaches looked amazing, next time I'll organise a bit more time for relaxing.

Bangor, co. Down

Sometimes I love my job/jobs...    My last assignment took me to Bangor Co. Down to work on the Hairy Bikers new TV programme. I was drafted in for the day to assist the Home Economist a lovely lady, who was so on the ball I didn't have a huge amount to do other than fetching and carrying and making lunch for the crew. The bikers are very impressive, they are naturally very funny people. The script is all in their heads. They do most of their cooking outdoors which is fun but can bring it's own headaches. We were blessed with beautiful weather. The afternoon locationn was on a beach with the added exitement of the tide coming in. Off to the wilds of Kerry next to work on a different cookery show...

Canapes.

I had the pleasure of providing canapes for an event recently. It's an area of my business that brings me great joy. I think it's designing them in my head and then building them to meet my design, that gets my creativity flowing. It reminds me of my art college days, the design process was something I always loved.
A lovely friend took these shots for me.
