Thanks for the kind words; hopefully all the ingredients are right now to make it a more popular place. I know some people are put off by my ethics thing, a case of not wanting to know the hotel they want to stay at is not so nice to the locals as they would want so it is easier perhaps to find another forum where they paint nothing but sunshine, but hopefully here will come of age.


I have done the month off things for years; it does work and there is hard medical evidence to show it too. I do not have too much of a podge to lose as I do not drink beer any more and limit the amount of red meat, especially fatty meat I eat; more for me a taste choice as it happens. We get superb chicken here (not the fat broiler things) plus damn good seafood. We also do quite a bit of walking as we are lucky enough to have quite a bit of land and direct river access, so walking along the river is easy for us. Plus I busy myself in the garden, although not as much as one might suppose as we have a gardener. But still, I just chopped up a "ton" of oak for the fire tonight if we need it. So exercise is pretty automatic for me as well. I may give the impression I am on the Internet a lot maybe, but I just walk past the one we have in the study which I leave switched on and take a look and do whatever. Being Saturday, not having a glass or 6 or wine though is a tough one!
