My name is Elaine and I love to cook! In fact, cooking is my favourite hobby. I started on cooking when I was very young, with my mother, and the first thing we did together was: cookies, gingerbread cookies because it was Christmas time. The smells from the kitchen filled the room! Ever since, the kitchen is my favourite part of the house, which is why I spend most of my time there. I like to try new plates and experiment until I succeeded in mixing the right ingredients, to improve the flavour of the food I prepare. While cooking, I taste all the food to see if it needs any salt or other spice. I also use lots of herbs in cooking because they add so much flavour to the food. Actually I even grow some fresh herbs of my own! One of my specialities is roasted meat with potatoes, all my family loves it! But I rather prefer preparing desserts. My dream is to attend a cookery course to better my performance in the kitchen. 1.

Thirty years ago I was still unmarried and was living with my mother. One morning in April while I was reading a newspaper I came across some information about a remarkable find of Roman silver.
It had been discovered three years before by a farmer from Mildenhall, in Siffolk, but the discovery for some reason had been kept secret until then.
 The newspaper article said the treasure has been sent to the British Museum.
The name of the farmer was given as Gordon Butcher.
The moment I read the story I sprang up from my chair and rushed out to my car.

Тридцать лет назад я был еще не женат и жил с мамой.
Однажды утром в апреле, когда я читал газету, я наткнулся на информацию о замечательной находке римского серебра.
Это было обнаружено три года ранее фермером из Милденхолла, в графстве Саффолк, но открытие почему-то  держали в тайне до сего времени. Газетная статья сообщала что клад был отправлен в Британский музей.
Имя фермера было  Гордон Мясник.
В тот момент как  я прочитал историю,  я вскочил с кресла и бросился к машине.
