Return to Seaton Sluice
Back in 2018 when we were last in Northumberland, we spent a memorable evening in Seaton Sluice, on the coast. We were there for midweek orienteering (as is our custom when in the UK), but the evening’s highlight was our dinner – and dessert – at the Kings Arms Hotel. The owner is coeliac and […]
Ian’s Gluten Free Blog Part 2 – Cruising the Baltic with Princess

It does spoil most of the spontaneity that non-coeliacs routinely enjoy but c’est la vie! As Deb blogged, the flight to Paris took around 30 hours. The only food […]
Gluten free adventures
Only a week to go before we (the d-i-d part of d-i-p-i-d-y) depart and Deb is too busy making lists to add to the blog. So now its my turn to join the blogosphere. Deb gets excited by lists – she says this isn’t true but we know better! Am I (Ian) excited too – […]
