I was incredibly lucky recently to be invited by my very lovely friend Debbie, to join her in London on a cooking masterclass day with Ainsley Harriott. Gotta say I was hyperventilating with excitement at the prospect of
a) Cooking with Ainsley Harriott.
b) Meeting Debbie for the first time, though we've been in touch for a couple of years via t'internet.
c) Luxury hotel overnight in London.
I was NOT disappointed I can tell you! Prepare yourselves for one very heavy blog post. (I can, can't I? I've not blogged in an absolute age!)

| Oh Mel!!! Get your tongue back in your own mouth woman! |

| I may be smiling outwardly but I was hyperventilating and stressing inside letting Ainsley sign one of my Radley bags! |
 |

Debbie, thank you for being so kind and generous and inviting me to share your wonderful experience. xxxx
