    In wales,they are like feral pigeons.... everywhere...noticed that theres alot more sparrow/gos hawks about the last 5 seasons,was rare to see them in the 80/90's when I was growing up,same as barn owls👍

    There was no Canadian Geese or Deer when I was kid near me strange how things change. Canadian Geese like a plague now and loads of Deer everywhere.

    Ate in the Ring of Bells in North Bovey after a walk on the moors on Sunday, very good food, will definitely go back

    Thanks Kev used to eat regularly at the Ring of Bells before it burned down was really good then. Went back twice after it reopened was bit of a let down to be honest nice to hear its picked up again.

    They do a Thai night at the Old Rydon might have a crack at that.

    Don't know what you call this. It was hansom, had to use up some news potatoes. Potatoes, Bacon, Sausage, Black pudding, Onions, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Garlic and a Fried Egg on top.

    There is not one party in this country that is going to support any kind of hunting, maybe fishing for a while but they will make that harder and harder. They all pander to the gleany greenies and the media hate any kind of hunting while knowing f**k all about it. 

    The future for the country skills is grim imo.

    You're having a sardine sandwich a couple of times a week but one of the worse things you can eat is bread.Carbs like bread,pastry,rice will spike your insuline just the same as sugar.And you dont need to eat just lettuce to be healthy.I eat loads of meat,me and my daughter go through 3 to 4 dozen eggs a week.I cook in beef dripping,use real butter.I also have loads of fruit and veg especially advacado and blueberries.What I dont eat is bread,pastries,pasta,crisps,sweets,fizzy drinks or squashes,or anything from a jar or packet.Think back to what are parents and grandparents ate years ago and they didnt worry about diabetes or cholestrol.Its not meat and fats etc that are killing us its the processed shit made up of multiple ingredients that aren't aren't even food that we scoff every day.

     

    I only eat multi grain bread now mate and very interestingly is I used to get reflux from white bread of coarse I never realised it was the white bread I thought it was cheese. From the moment I changed to multi grain bread my reflux went. I would agree with most food you mention but our grandparents didn't have the information we have now and most grandfathers went from heart attacks or cancer from smoking. How every most grandmothers seemed to live a lot longer. Also they didn't have the ultra processed foods that are around today which I personally try to stay away from but I do like my bacon and sausages from time to time, but source them from the butcher rather than the mass produced stuff.

    After loosing a stone and half since Christmas and a few other health issues that's not really affected my day to day life after getting the all clear on the prostate examination and tests I have been told I am at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. As any other lads on here got this condition or same as me are at risk and what they do eating wise to keep it under control. I have also been sent a link to sign up and attend these group sessions and advice but don't want to go down that route. 

    Yes mate I was per Diabetic then they said I have gone over the thresh hold now. They put me on Metformin which with a a diet change and losing a stone in weight seems to be under control. Gave the group sessions the elbow I hate have to commit to that sort of thing. 

    What got me was have the check ups blood test etc and bollacking was a nurse that was about five foot two and about 16 stone tell me to lose weight. 

    I cut out sugar as much as I could have Oat flakes with chia seed, flax seed sprinkled on plus blue berries and raspberry with oat milk for breakfast. Now they are telling me my cholesterol is a bit high if its not one thing its another. I like my food and its hard to just live on lettuce. I love meat but have cut back on the red meat a bit have more fish and chicken. Been reading about sardines and how good they are for you so been having sardine sandwiches couple time a week as a snack.

    I did think a few little changes would stop me from going over the thresh hold from prediabetic but no. So mate if you can cut out sugar and carbs as much as you can and good luck.
