It has occurred to me, my friend!
However turning a weekend passion into a 24/7 business can have its challenges? Cheers! Giles.
It’s certainly a very different proposition
But I can imagine you both having a knack for it and enjoying it 😊
Love to make & BBQ lamb, yogout, sumac & mint kebabs in the summer
