Want to share just one good news story about his time here - a young girl who is mildly autistic - bored with school so had dropped out - her Mum at first wasn’t happy at letting her have a go in the bakery - the Baker taught her pastry making and making the danish became her thing - he taught her patience and care was the secret - her Mum was in and out like a bantam hen - but the girl just flourished -she worked her butt off - her pastry was to die for - she learned to make curd and blueberry conserve -he taught her to make his grandmothers custard - a large restaurant had a regular order and were very impressed - offered her a job she is now producing stunning deserts - she has her moments but she hears the Baker telling her to sing her favourite song in her head .Her mother put together a presentation that went down to the MP he wasn’t interested .Baker had many successes who are all working but three didn’t make it .My son did a presentation to the other operators and others have opened up a training for kids who need a break so all is not lost .He even cooked a special stew each week to raffle off for funds to desex the stray cats in the park where he took the leftover pies every night to the homeless .Ozzie are lucky to get them .The boy loved fishing off the rocks down Perfume Point Venetian - I hope they move near the coast - he went up to Kinloch with my son and his family and caught a trout- he is reluctant to leave but is desperate to see his Dad
