It’s the end of an era, it’s with a heavy heart that I can announce today we close the doors on the iconic @LifeKitchen Cookery School.
It has been our immense privilege to be custodians of such a beautiful building with so much history in our beautiful, home city.
The school ran for 5 years helping thousands of people and has been host to celebrities, politicians, TV crews, parties, celebrations and of course many many of our iconic multi-award-winning cookery classes.
Extremely tough economic times, continued rising costs and lack of funding are just some of the factors behind our decision, the building is Grade 2 listed and is extremely expensive to maintain, heat and insure.
Thank you to everyone who made our dreams come true, the hundreds of you who helped build it, the thousands of you that used our services.
I will never forget our opening party with @Nigella_Lawson and I cherish how far we have come.
Do not fear, Life Kitchen continues. We will continue to provide our service to those who need it and have lots of great things to announce shortly.
But for now, from me @Kimdukee and the Life Kitchen team, thank you and au-revoir..
Nathan Sandy is attempting an ultramarathon this weekend, despite the removal of a thigh muscle used to rebuild his throat. All to say thanks for the lifesaving cancer treatment he and wife Nicola both received @NewcastleHosps.💙

I grew up on a Council Estate and never once questioned my parents income, it was never a discussion.
We didn’t eat a lot of fast food because it was considered a treat, not a food group.
We ate homemade meals consisting of meat, potatoes and vegetables - (which were not an optional choice). No vegetables, no dessert!!!
We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, helped neighbours with chores to be able to earn our own money.
We by no means were given everything we wanted.
We went outside a lot to play, ride bikes, run with friends, play hide and seek, or went swimming.
We rarely just sat inside.
Bottled water was unheard of.
If we had a coke, it was in a glass bottle and we didn’t break the bottle when finished.
We saved it and cashed it back in at the shops for a sweet.
After school, we came home and did homework and chores, before going outside or having friends over.
We would ride our bikes for hours.
We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with and be home when the street lights came on!
You LEARNED from your parents instead of disrespecting them and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing.
What they said was LAW and you did not question it and you had better know it!
We watched what we said around our elders because we knew if we DISRESPECTED any grown-up, we would get a real telling off, it wasn’t called abuse, it was called discipline!
We held doors, carried the shopping and gave up our seat for an older person without being asked.
You didn’t hear swear words on the radio in songs or TV.
“Please and Thank you”, were part of our daily vocabulary! 💯
The world we live in now is just so full of people who hate and disrespect others.
Consider Re-posting if you’re thankful for your childhood.
I will never forget where I came from and only wish children nowadays had half the chance at the fun and respect for real life we grew up with!
And we were never ever ever ever bored 💯
