My mum used to work at Holloways. The son Percy ran it when she was there. Her boss was Mr Richardson. She worked in the bakery, which was downstairs. She learnt so much but most of all, during her lunch hours, she used to watch the baker icing celebration cakes. I grew up watching my mum ice cakes (royal icing) in our kitchen. She was a professional cake decorator for many years. What is your interest Peter Pan?

Now the present. Having turned over to Montana State the square Section of
land 20 miles West from Billings..., I needed to vacate and bring home my vintage and sport car collection so down by aircraft and drive one car pull a trailer with another, lots of fun beats 'Top Gear'.
