Tesco Freefrom Gluten free Crumpets or Pikelets as we used to call them in South Yorkshire.

I was offered a try of these this morning and I have to say they were pretty good, a little less chewy [ more powdery, maybe too much bicarb of soda? ] than the ones I remember as a kid but overall a nice morning or afternoon snack.

I was wondering how long it would be before they arrived as a gluten free package, and here they are, labeled as NEW in the stores.

I recently stayed at the Glencoe Guesthouse in Keswick to climb the highest mountain in England the celebrated Scafell Pike.
I found the accommodation on the Internet through Google search and chose it as it looked nice on the website and was a reasonably priced B&B compared to others in the area.

The accommodation was well presented and the breakfasts were served early [maybe a little to early if you need a lie in after a long day on the hill - my only gripe!] There was no problem with catering for my diet, they made me sandwiches with my bread, and other facilities were available in town, Keswick has an abundance of good restaurants.

Recommended.

Red Lion Inn - Hollington

I recently went to this pub which is based in the village of Hollington near Ashbourne / Derby and was pleasantly surprised once again by the helpful response to my request for a gluten free meal.
The waitress asked the chef what he could offer me and returned with a delightful array of choices.

Basically the restaurant offers top quality food in a lovely rural setting
