I work in a surplus food store in the UK and the manager has let me use the store out of hours to do this work. I get in early do what needs to be done, then I have time to go through the course. The course is like eating a healthy meal. It feeds the soul. It's been so good to get up on my feet and do! Even though Fern and Ted never knew I was there it was great to be in their company. Such talented teachers. Many thanks.
