The Somme Tour

Hi all,
Lovely to talk to you about our wonderful day on the Somme and the service at VB.
I feel that I didnt do justice to how special it is to visit this strangely beautiful region that has such a special connection with Australia. however my mother, sister and husband were listening over the net in the next room and said that i got the message across to how special our day was. The one thing i would like to share is the contact details for the tour company that took us around the Somme after the VB service.

Sylvestre Bresson is a local that is actually a qualified professional podiatrist that gave his day job to devote his life to sharing this special place with Aussies. it is a small tour (max 8 people) his knowledge is astounding and being a local you get to off the beaten track places ie: a small farm near Pozieres where we could go into one of the few remaining original german bunkers, down little tracks between farms where he knew farmers had recently found live shells and sure enough there they were live unexploded shells on the side of the road, the medow where in March another Australian soldier was found (the farmers still find 10-15 bodies a month, most will never be identified).

Email: terresdememoire@orange.fr

Sylvestre was fabulous and deserves Australia's patronage (and it was remarkably reasonably priced 60E each for a full day and pick up & drop off from Amiens station.).
Cheers,
Julianne

Obesity Measurement 

Obesity has most recently been measured by Body Mass Index- however, health and fitness experts are now saying that a more accurate way of ensuring you are at a healthy weight is to make certain that your waist measurement is less than half of your height. 

Other methods for obesity measurements include skin fold tests and water displacement which will need to be conducted by a health professional.
