Dieta Mediterránea

Had a browse through the paper today and came across an article about the results of a large Spanish study showing the Mediterranean diet -- with its trademark olive oil, fish, nuts, tomato sauce, vegetables, legumes, fruit and wine -- may reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease by up to one half. Although my diet is not completely Mediterranean, it is macrobiotic and very healthy as can be attested by my fine coat. I took this picture of a painting by my friend Diana. I also particularly like her painting of another one of my favourite nibbles - profiteroles.

Factoid: Diana Adshead, previously Diana Taylor, has exhibited in London before her move to Spain in 2000. Her family has a long connection with art - her great aunt Grace White was a noted artist and had close connections with the Stannard family, the Victorian water colourist. After leaving art school, Diana continued her painting initially in watercolour,her interest in nature being her inspiration. She has specialised in portraits of horses and dogs, and sells wild animal portraits in Kenya. Now resident in Spain she continues to specialise in the endless attraction that is the natural world.
