  Thanks for the reply Colin and glad to learn that we`ve still all got more of those super photos of yours to look forward too. They really are very good!
  
  It`s strange that you should mention your nan as I was actually going to mention cases like that but was a bit worried about elongating this particular thread. You`re quite right, however, we all seem to know someone that somehow defies the medical "norm" who apparently doesn`t follow the so called recommended path but still lives to a ripe old age. A few years back an elderly chap over the road from me passed away. He was well into his nineties, smoked all his life and without any exaggeration, drank seven to eight cups of tea a day with at least four heaped teaspoonfuls of sugar.
  You really had to see it to believe it. As you can imagine, his eventual passing was not smoking related so I guess he just had the right genetics coupled with the fact that the tea may have acted as a powerful anti-oxident. Who knows?
  
  It`s good to hear that at least your not on mega medication, as such, so let`s hope that the future really will be positive.
  
  As we`ve all said before, let`s hope Ross can stay strong and be supportive for his partner. These situations are never easy and sometimes the last thing you need is umpteen different people telling you what you should and shouldn`t be doing, so I hope he doesn`t take offence at my previous suggestion.
  
  All the best for now and take care.
