Well wouldn\u2019t you know it, it earned old Gottie the reputation as the go-to chap for all such future occasions. I\u2019ve even gotten not a small number of paid commissions supplemented by a bang-up supper to boot! Their little darlings won\u2019t play nice for just any old photographer, but they\u2019re putty in my hands ever since I hung them upside down by their ankles and dragged them through muddy puddles, much to their mothers\u2019 despair.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">After that, the ins just kept on coming. Somebody has to make a video about the school? Fear not, Gottie has it in the bag, so long as the bag is free of muddy little darlings on such occasions. Somebody has to typeset a leaflet for an upcoming event and have it ready by supper time? Gottie\u2019s on the case\u2014how does 4 o\u2019clock sound? The opportunities really are endless, as are the invites to exclusive member-only jaunts.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Of course, I had to find something special to curry favour with the mothers too, as they often tended to have more say in their husbands\u2019 affairs than their husbands did.

I first won them over at a summer fate, where I assisted at the refreshments tent. I presented a delectable accompaniment to the intoxicating beverages we were permitted to sell on the school yard, in the form of smoke-finished chicken ham. The breast had been brined for two days, and cooked at a low temperature in olive oil and garlic. The final piece de resistance was a theatrical performance of carefully layering slices in a makeshift smoker born of an old cardboard Amazon box, injecting apple tree smoke for just a few minutes, and the result was a nuanced extravaganza of balanced flavours that kept them tripping over themselves on the way back for more.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"western\">Later came the roast beefs, the freshly cured hams and hand-stuffed sausages, among some even more exotic findings.
