Edinburgh: Judy Crow

Judy has suffered more than her fair share of kitchen disasters in the past: "The worst was When the waste disposal unit broke down and flooded the kitchen 20 minutes before our guests appeared!"

And she didn't have much more luck on HG: "the electricity was fused, ’cos of all the ‘lights’ and then we couldn’t find the trip in the dark, but the oven worked in the end."

Judy admits: "I was surprised that my original impressions of one or two people were mistaken." She was quite taken with guest Ben: "He was a perfect guest even if he never went to bed, like one of our sons really, no surprises, he loved the food and was an extremely pleasant guest."
