Girls, I always keep an eye on all dates for shows that are within reach for me. Not sure at this point how 'Northern' will work out with the new baby, and Loch Lomond is very tempting, but I'm quite committed to be at the British Quilt Guild AGM this year because it's in Nottingham. So I haven't even looked at other 'stuff' in April. I'll let you know how thing are panning out. Just keep me in the loop so that I know who is going where and when, and I'll try my best!

Rosemary, my late father would have called you a 'Pocket Venus'!!

twiglet OFFLINE Posts: 3849 Thank you received: 546	and Lorchen put April 2014 in your diary for the Loch Lomond quilt show. While you've not been around much we've been plotting a get together with several others from across the pond and Europe

Phantastic, Rosemary!! That is absolutely brilliant!! You are less than half my present weight. Fortunately I'm taller than you.

I guess you and I are doing a "The Harcombe Diet" versus "Slimming World". Can't wait to meet up again sometime this year!

My experience shows that most people are taller than me

(even some of the 11 yr olds at school

) Still at this rate I might be able to start buying childrens clothes soon

Hope we do manage to meet up again this year - how about the Great Northern Show? it looks like it is before term starts again this year (and if I 'extract digit' and get Caught Red Handed finished, I'll get a free entry pass too

)

As for THD versus SW , the proof, as they say, will be in the pudding....

Thanks for sharing Rosemary. Good information. Although makes you wonder... First fat was really bad, then carbs were the culprit, now sugar is the evil one. What'll be next? I guess it all boils down to foods as natural as possible and moderation.

The thing is 'follow the money', who is paying whom for the 'research papers?', which doctors are being sponsered by which companies, even the World Health Organisation has been 'nobbled' by the Sugar Lobby in past years, and quite frankly the Sugar Lobby is in the same cart as the Tobacco Lobby, just a few decades further down the line.

Next time you pick up any processed foods, have a read of the labels - if you cannot pronounce the ingredients, it probably isn't good for you. If any of the ingredients end in an 'ose' then that is a sugar, and there is a surprising amount of sugar in savoury processed foods, and especially in the 'low fat' versions of nearly anything (plain yoghurt & plain cottage cheese excepted), why would you want sugar in your cheese?

Just found a link to an interesting article http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jan/24/defence-of-sugar-confection-scientists actually looking at the photo that accompanies it gives cause to stop and think, how many of those colours, if they were naturally occuring on your food, would you think safe to eat?

another link http://www.eatdrinkpolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/AND_Corporate_Sponsorship_Report.pdf is about the american 'Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' and looks like a big read (51pages) and is especially for those who like horror stories :shock:
