I read the U.K. ‘Daily Mail’, online, multiple times a day. If you are even somewhat familiar with this blog you would know that. I quote them at least once a week. I have been a Daily Mail reader from the time I was an adult, living in the UK, i.e., since the mid-1970s.

So, this morning, while reading the Mail, in bed, while drinking a cup of coffee I was DELIGHTED to read this. Why? Because I occasionally worry that I eat too much fruit! I invariably have some fruit for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Plus, as many of you might know, I am paranoid about getting diabetes. So, I worry about my carb intake.

This article was very reassuring.

I also LOVED the insert about the dangers of donuts, cereals & pizza. I haven’t eaten any pizza or donuts in years. Yes, definitely years. I do eat cereal, as a TREAT, maybe 7 or 8 times a year — & that is always a bran- or granola-based cereal rich in fiber. Over the last few months I have cut back on this too. I have not eaten any cereal in probably 6 months.

Anywho … you should check out this article. It will be good for you.

I know it well — as the above pictures from November 16, 2021 testify. I am very fond of it & invariably hike up to it if whenever I am up that way. In my books it is an easy, mindless hike & I basically sprint up in less than 15 minutes. Have to be a bit more cautious coming down. The trail, which is mainly smooth rock, tends to be slippery, especially if there is any moisture or snow on it. But, people tend to do crazy things. Last year I cautioned a teenage girl who was going to go up the trail, in slight snow, wearing HEELS!

The top, i.e., the Bluff, is also mainly exposed, smooth rock. Easy to slip. NOTHING to grab onto. Not a place you want to get jostled around. Whenever I have been up there it has been relatively uncrowded or totally empty. The folks that I have met up there {bar the girl in heels} tend to be sensible. They give others plenty of space at the top realizing that the footing could be treacherous.

A lot of teenagers up there, cavorting around, is not a good thing. It is quite the drop. I don’t think you could survive it. The authorities need to do something before it gets too crazy.
