Now you will be able to walk even further with your sticks, Hubby brought me one a few years ago on the advice of a friend of his who is a big walker, I loved it from the start, it really does help. Mine doesn't have a compass though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-9637192937463908402009-02-17T17:49:00.000+00:002009-02-17T17:49:00.000+00:00Good thinking, Dave.

I didn't mind the £2.73 for 120g of cherries, but now I find that the cherry content is a mere 52% I'm a touch resentful. I ate another one, just to check. The flavour is lovely once you get beyond the sugar - which impregnates rather than coats them - but is ruined by the sweetness and the peculiar overlay of oil. Indeed, I'll probably chuck them in a cake, unless I see Dave before long, in which case he is more than welcome to them.<BR/><BR/>Montezuma's is wonderful. I have an unstarted -0:-) - bar of Orange & Geranium right by me here, and a bar of Chilli chocolate in the kitchen for Ro, who has a cold. I can't imagine why G&B has been altered, and TW isn't the only person I know of who hasn't been able to eat it since because of being lactose intolerant. On the other hand, G&B is a damn sight better than most, even now - though it's not as satisfying any more.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I'll show you my hat, BW. I have another ball of wool, which Ro won't need to finish his scarf. I'll make another, better one.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-17604117879451613192009-02-17T11:58:00.000+00:002009-02-17T11:58:00.000+00:00No more G&B for us then - Trophy Wife is lacto...No more G&B for us then - Trophy Wife is lactose intolerant, and I sometimes buy her that as a treat.

She hadn't knitted for about 15 years and only took it up again in order to knit baby clothes for my brother's child who arrived last year. Her first attempt at a jacket for the baby was knitted, taken down and re-knitted about four times before she was happy with it!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600329429654831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-61404379119377186752009-02-17T08:57:00.000+00:002009-02-17T08:57:00.000+00:00Z, you could wash the cherries - put them in a bow...Z, you could wash the cherries - put them in a bowl of hottish water for half an hour to lift the oil and then run them under more warm water to lift most of it, and the sugar, away.

Many things have transfats and corn syrup in them. In my mind, there is no better candy bar than a Cadbury Yorkie raisin bar. I used to always seek them out when in the UK.
