After leaving school Lynnette trained as a pastry chef for three years, doing part of her training in Bavaria Germany. Once qualified she travelled to Greece to work for an English and Greek restaurant. The following season she went to work in the Channel Islands on a small island called Herm, three miles off the coast of Guernsey. She had a contract for six months and took just a rucksack but came back 16 and a half later with a husband and two children. While Lynnette was there she was a pastry chef on and off between having children and she also helped to run the island's three gift shops. She now runs a small cake business alongside her job running the Cornwall Air Ambulance shop in Wadebridge. The cause is particularly close to Lynnette's heart as her son was airlifted in 2015.
