Well this blog was started with good intention of writing forever - well I think it was!  Anyway we are now into a new year - 2013 and however unbelievable that is - it is now half way through the first month of this new year!

So what is new?  First of all I have been doing a lot of thinking, envisioning, dreaming, hoping and mixed into all of that is my plan that this year Robert and I will share exercise.  So I gave up my gym membership - that was not only not shared (except the monthly cost) but it was also largely unused.

We decided together that the membership money could be re-directed to a hired Concept 2 rower - one of those wonderful rowing machines I have used (sparingly) at the gym!

So it has arrived - we have built it and tried it for a minute or so each - in entirely the wrong clothes - but that is the beauty of using a rower at home - you can get on it with bare feet and your housecoat on.

I intend to report in this blog some wonderful value for money exercise and - more than that - fitter bodies at 12 High Meads Road and younger, fitter products very soon.  Well, give us a bit of time to break ourselves in......so here's to 2013 - and one big change that hopefully leads to many other positive changes for us.
