Given that a fifth of Brits are ‘on a diet’ at any one time, I’d bet my monthly food bill that failed diets top the score. Home & Garden 13 Creative Arts 19 Aiming to rectify a few niggling ailments, I was recently advised by a dietitian to switch to a diet dictated by my blood type – O negative. The Blood Type Diet was outlined by Councils 24 The New York Times best-selling author Dr Peter D’Adamo. The dietician said that our Rippling Yarns 28 blood type links us to the food groups that our ancestors ate.

Water Park 30 There is an amazing array of diets – Atkins, non-dairy, gluten-free Local History 32 and so on – foisted upon a bamboozled population desperate to Volunteering 34 cope with bulging waistlines. And it’s big business, according to Sport 36 Professor Tim Spector who claims there are ‘well over 30,000 books available, with their own websites and merchandising, Food & Drink 38 promoting diet regimes and supplements ranging from the Business 42 sensible to the dangerous’. What are we to make of it? The first Wellbeing 46 clue is in the title of his book ‘The Diet Myth – the real science behind what we eat’. Pets 50 Profile 52 Much of what Professor Spector has to say resonates with me. ‘I thought changing my lifelong dietary habits would be my Events 53 greatest challenge – but … finding out the truth about food was an even greater one.’ Contacts 58 Although I was unable to accept the blood type diet, that dietician has sure got me thinking. The second clue lies in the book’s dedication: ‘To my family and other microbes’. Transport 58 Prof Tim reckons our bodies contain 100 trillion of them, weighing over four pounds in COVER PICTURE: our guts alone. And if they’re not happy, we’re not happy.

  • River Leach – Cotswold Fly Fishers
    River Leach – Cotswold Fly Fishers A Project Proposal by the Wild Trout Trust - April 2015 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a site visit to the River Leach on water controlled by the Cotswold Fly Fishers (CFF). The CFF water runs from a short distance downstream of the village of Southrop to just upstream of Lechlade Mill. The water is split into two beats running either side of the A361 at Little Faringdon, with a short gap in the middle where the river runs through the Lechlade Trout Fishery and fish farm. Approximately 3km of channel was inspected in all, from a point at National Grid Ref SP 208 031 down to SU 230998. The Leach is classified as being of “moderate status” under the Water Framework Directive. Waterbody ID no. GB106039030040. The visit was initially requested by Jim Seymour, Fisheries Technical Officer with the Environment Agency. The Environment Agency, in partnership with the CFF and the Cotswold Rivers Trust (CRT) are seeking to identify reaches of river where habitat quality might be restricting rivers from meeting their full potential, and where there might be scope for enhancement. In recent years, wild brown trout Salmo trutta numbers appear to have dropped and all parties are keen to explore options to support and improve local fish populations. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr. David Reinger (CFF) and Mr. Trevor Cramphorn (CFF and CRT). Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification, i.e.

Hampton Fields Farm • Hampton Fields Farm occupies a delightfully quiet and secluded setting situated at the end of a long private drive. The house overlooks the beautifully mature gardens and grounds and quintessential Cotswold countryside beyond. The property is not listed and was originally converted in 1990 to provide a particularly light and airy country house. • The reception hall links the open plan kitchen breakfast room, sitting room and conservatory which form the core of the house.
