I have a real thing about photographing Alma when she is preparing or eating food.   I guess it is a bit of a fetish!  I am not one of those guys who likes skinny women, I like something to hold onto if you get my drift... I would hate for her to slim down.  Every now and again she gets a notion that she should lose some weight and whilst I would not go so far as to say that the word diet is banded in our house, she knows better than saying the word out loud! 

Most days I stop by the bakery after work and buy us cream cakes or scones.  I absolutely love afternoon tea and don’t understand the kind of woman who favours fast food.  Alma would never dream of cooking from out of a packet or to bring in a take-away.  Afternoon tea is one of our rituals, it doesn’t matter what has happened in her day or what else she has to do I expect her to sit down with me, as after all, this is when I tell her all about my busy day at work.  She knows it is her duty to listen to my worries and concerns.
