| Following the excesses of Easter and May, 
              we decided to take ourselves in hand and participate in the Atkins diet 
              with which some of you will be familiar. It was, of course, utterly unnecessary 
              in Pen's case but Greg was in need of serious attention. Proud to say 
              that we've lost 57 stone between us. Unfortunately, there have been so 
              many occasions when it would have been impolite not to indulge ourselves 
              that we've gained 57 stone between us but at least we are holding our 
              own! |
