Up close with my district colleagues.
Setting the scene I love visiting the offices of our Corporate Services. When you enter the room, the energy spikes.

The sweet potato bread, recommended by one of our new recruits, was a serious distraction. Juleen got up from her seat to get her head around this story. She was clearly puzzled. " And exactly how many slices of bread can you get from such a bread? How many slices of bread are there in a normal bread?" Robin, another newish colleague who was also standing by now with a wad of documents in his hands, confidently stated that there are about twenty slices in a loaf. We had a crisis on our hands. Nellie
