Something new and exciting….

Tonight I went off to college to start my body massage course.

I was excited and scared all at the same time.

Excited because I was going to learn something new and interesting, scared because its been along time since I was last at school. walk 015

I joined up with 20 other people including 2 guys, one of them only being 17, who you just have to admire.

Its not going to be an easy course as there is a lot of theory work as well as practical work, but it is going to be a very enjoyable course.

At the end when you pass you have an NVQ in body massage and are qualified to practice body massage.

Tonight after filling in all the paper work and having our induction we got a small taste of what its all about.

We were shown how to do an Arm massage then had to practice on each other.

Its all about knowing the routine and what move comes next.

A massage should be as relaxing for the person giving it,as it is for the person receiving it.

A big thank you must go to Geoff for encouraging me to do this….and for making it possible too….I will make sure he reaps the benefits…

Its Made….

Off I went first thing this morning to get my cooking apples then I was all set twalk 011o make my jam.

The jars were washed and put into a low oven 

a) to dry them out

b) to have them warm enough for the hot jam so the glass doesn’t break

I prepared the blackberries and the apples got the sugar all ready , then had a panic as my pan did not look big enough

Not to be out off I carried on anyway and found out the hard way that mwalk 012y pan was just a little too small, the phone rang and I left the pan for a moment only to come back and find it pouring over the sides all over my cooker.

nevertheless I managed to make some great Apple and Blackberry jam.

It has set perfect but then you cannot really go wrong if you use the special jam sugar you can buy.It has added pectin to help it set.

Making jam is so easy and it tastes so much better than shop bought ones ……

Juicy and fruity as my son says…..
