Hi Tammy & Steffi ,

How are things going? Tammy, we do have Baskin Robbins in the U K. We did have one in Newcastle, but I'm not sure if it is still open. I'll be going into town on Monday so I'll check it out. It's as good an excuse as any to hit the shops . I remember last time we were across in the States we stopped at an ice cream shop and the choice was unbelievable . As well as all the different flavours, there was the choice of sugar free, fat free etc. Maybe the cooler climate over here has something to do with our lack of outlets. You're more likely to go to the coffee shop and order a bowl of soup than an ice cream.

Steffi, what is flax o meal, is it a bit like porridge? I must admit it is nice to have a bit of variation for breakfast. I still miss my slice of toast and bagels . I am waiting for a leaflet coming from the British Egg Council with loads of different recipes. I'm sure I can remember a book that came out a few years ago called 101 things to do with an egg

Keep the faith girls
