Hi - hoping to begin a healthy eating programme for January - looks like a good website to get some useful information - interested in a local walking group to increase motivation x

Hi, don't know which part of the country you are in, but have you looked at a website called 'walking for health', it may be worth a look to see if there are any walking groups near you, best wishes for your healthy eating plan

[Julie25 in reply to Jennymary]

Hi Jennymary - thanks this sounds good (have taken a look at ramblers website but not at that stage of walking at the mo) will let you know how I get on, best wishes for 2016

Hi Julie,

Some councils organise walking or outdoor activity groups that are similar to The Ramblers' Association. BTCV might be active in your area, if you fancy something different, but it can sometimes involve hard physical work.

I've been Veggie for almost 30 years, if you want any advice on knitting yoghurt & spinning lentils. I'm a big fan of organic food, & probiotics to improve digestion.

Hi Mel

Thanks for your note, lucky as we live close to Tatton park so spend an hour or so some weekends having a stroll/walk, will have look at BTCV also and re-explore ramblers!

Have started eating less meat - do like chicken though and like to try veggie recipes, recently bought a slow cooker which is good. Find Pinterest good for recipes, recently trying to eat free range/organic also. I enjoy trying new crafts finding them therapeutic - I am enjoying beginning watercolour painting.

Will let you know how I get on. Hope you have a lovely weekend, Julie
