We are John & Maureen Glen, both 56 years old and we have been married for 35 years, and up until I(John) became disabled we worked together for the most part of that time.
I was the private Chef and Butler, and Maureen was the senior Housekeeper for Lord and Lady Hanson here in the UK at Kimber Cottage, Newbury and Wilton Lodge, London and also at Norwood West in Palm Springs, California, we used to spend the summers here in the UK and winters in California.
Why “Astrochef” and “Lancashire Molly”? Well my name at school gave me the nickname Astro and being a chef the two just seemed to go together and as for Lancashire Molly well, Molly became my name for Maureen and as she comes from Lancashire I used to joke about Maureen and her sisters (all five of them) as being the Lancashire Witches, consequently she became “Lancashire Molly”!!
On our website we would like to show you;
All our favourite recipes and in many instances where, when, and to whom we cooked for and served them to.
Our genealogy (family trees) in the detection of our family we use a computer to control a database of some three thousand names and 100 families. On the Family Tree Page you will find a list of many of the names that appear in our family trees along with how we started to use the census and other genealogical records.
We want to show you the places we have lived worked and visited and of course a personal web page wouldn’t be complete without a good photo album.
We also want to let you know about the Butlers and Housekeeper’s tips and tricks we learnt along the way.
