Thank you all so much!

First off, I want to say a big thank you for all the messages on my 365th blip. I was very touched by some of them and it is encouraging to read.

This picture is the view from my new house. I am not working today which is the first Friday in yonks! The sun has been shining and the weather has been very kind. I heard it's getting colder this weekend so I made the most of it!

As for my career change, I am so much looking forward to it and of course I will keep on blipping. For the first few months I will still be working in a good kitchen for 3 days a week. But I am also looking forward to working more with the students. They have progressed so much since the start of the year and I am very proud of some of the food they produce for paying customers.

I always used to get my job satisfaction from the instant result which was the reaction of the customer. I measured my achievments by that. Now, I will get my satisfaction from the achievment of former apprentices or students. I can't wait to see people I have taught achieve their goals. Oh and if anyone wants to hire me for private parties I will still get my own satisfaction too ;-)

Anyway, it's full on spring, the season of new beginnings and new beginnings there definately are, in all aspects of my life.

Happy blipping everyone!
