Small glass of red

Today's the day ........................ to go missing

It was reported in the news today that the TV doctor and columnist, Michael Mosley has gone missing on the Greek Island of Symi, while on holiday with his wife.  Apparently he went for a walk from Saint Nikolas Beach at around 1.30pm Greek time on Wednesday, but had not returned by this morning.  As yet, his disappearance is a complete mystery.

I have to tell you that Dr Michael Mosley is highly regarded in this house.  We have listened to his Radio 4 broadcasts and watched him on television.  He talks about the ways that the modern diet has had such a detrimental affect on the health of the nation - and gently offers ways of making things better - by changing the sort and amounts of food and drink that we consume.  

Everything he says makes perfect sense to us - and he says it in such an engaging and modest way.  Here's what he said about the efficacy of having a small glass of red wine with your meal in his series, 'Just One Thing'. 

So we are very sorry indeed to hear the news today - and hope that somehow he is found safe and well, before too long ...................
