It was going to happen at some point, there was no way I could manage 40 days without the allure of a sausage roll entering my life, guess I should be pleased I got to 26, but before I tell what happened, let’s start at the beginning. The word’s “road…

I’m not hugely religious, but I always try to give something up for lent, this year if I was going to reach my weight loss target, there could be only one choice and no, it’s not alcohol. My weakness is not chocolate based either, something far more tasty that can…
