One dreary Monday afternoon in October Trevor was hitting slap shots and practising trick shots at an empty goal, as he often did after practice had finished. The feeling of letting loose and having fun on the pitch made him feel alive, no need to be the captain of the team, always striving for perfection, just pure fun. He lined up for one last shot before starting his warm down as his coach would be back in about 20 minutes to lock up the pitches and put away the rest of the equipment that Trevor was still using. Without thinking he slapped the ball so hard that it sounded like thunder when the ball collided with his stick, the ball took off into the darkening sky and soared into the distance. Frustrated, Trevor cursed under his breath, threw his stick to the ground and started to jog in the direction of the ball, silently hoping that no one would witness this superhuman feat.

CHAPTER 1 __ One dreary Monday afternoon in October while at hockey practice Trevor was hitting slap shots at an empty goal. He was just about to start his warm down when he realised he was alone on the pitch. He was often the last to leave so this was not unusual. He knew his coach would be back in about 20 minutes to lock up the pitches and put away the rest of the equipment that Trevor was still using. Without thinking he slapped the ball so hard that it sounded like thunder when the ball collided with his stick, the ball took off into the distance. Trevor cursed under his breath, threw his stick to the ground and started to jog in the direction the ball went. Daniel was in the school garden tending to the garden and installing the new wildlife boxes he had built in technology. He had his earphones in and was listening to his music when out of nowhere he felt the earth shake beneath him. Daniel jumped up, pulled out his earphones and turned to see a massive crater in the ground abo...

 These pizza styled baguettes are the perfect solution for a between meal snack or a quick and easy lunch. each pack contains two baguette pizzas and they come in three flavours, pepperoni, speciale, or cheese and tomato. They take about 10 - 15 minutes in the oven, they can also be cooked in the air fryer. They cool very quickly once cooked meaning you won't have to wait ages for your food to cool down to eat. Each flavour is unique so you will have a variety to choose from. Once cooked the crust of the baguette is nice and crunchy but the middle is soft and doughy, giving a variety of textures. These are perfect for both adults and children. When you don't have a lot of time to spare these are perfect.  For those out there that value the aesthetic of their food, once cooked the cheese is a lovely golden brown and the baguette is the same. It always surprises me that quick freezer food cannot only taste but look so good.  The danger with these is that they are so quick, ...
