Better late than forgotten
Hi all
Peggy has just reminded me that I did not introduce myself properly when I first joined.
Well here it is.....
I live in the UK, up in the north on the coast in the seaside resort of Scarborough North Yorkshire. This is about 40 miles from the city of York.
I worked as a Catering lecturer at the locl College for 23 years and then had my own outside catering business and cafe for 10 years before being forced into early retirement with cancer of the bowel 5 years ago. I was lucky that the operation to remove the tumour was a success and no chemo or radio therepy was needed. Unfortunetly I had complications after the surgery which meant many visits to hospital over the following 3.5 yrs.
I am now fully retired and fit again.
Last November I decided that I had to loose weight as I had crept up to 17.5 stone, so I joined Weightwatchers and have lost 1.5 stone and still going down. I do not find this difficult except for the days when I struggle to eat enough points!!!
I share an allotement with a friend and am now starting to think of veg to grow this year!!
I enjoy travel and have just had a weekend in Iceland - wonderful fish but my ethics would not let me try whale!
We have a trip planned for May to south Africa so will see what food that shows up.
Sorry about the long intro, hope to keep visiting more regularly in future
David
