Thank you so much for the rep Rosie and the suggestion of walking, I actually do a fair amount of walking because I have a border collie who requires it. She is a great excuse for me to get out the house at least three times a day!

Trefor, thank you as well, I do know exactly what you mean and they are the kind of people that always make me feel so uncomfortable. I hadn't thought about a wee local gym so I will maybe have a look around for that.
