A Long Forgotten Hobby

What is your favorite restaurant?

I can’t eat these either

The UK was very good for gluten free food at first, then times got hard, vegans arose, and now we can either get vegan and gluten free, or nothing. More vegans equals more money.

A chocolate brownie used to be one of my favourite cakes, and although a few kind places still do a choice of cakes, most do a chocolate brownie. They make me want to scream now. Imagine the damage to the reputation of screaming hysterically at a cake! It’s not to be borne.

I understand the cost considerations of meeting the needs of a few people, when I say few, apparently 1/5 people in the UK follow a GF diet, but it still sucks. Except you have nothing to chew let alone suck!

Even ice creams tend to have wheat in them. Just why? Pubs will part cook a roast potato, then coat it in wheat a deep-fry them until they’re crisp. NOT all pubs obviously, but enough. Wheat appears in places no cook would add it.

So my favourite hobby of a meal at a restaurant has gone out the window. Sadly all I’m left with is chocolate shops.

Never let anyone tell you that you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. To coin a less used phrase from my youth.

A time when I didn’t know that there was a correlation between wheat and acute anxiety.

Mind you, are we intolerant of the wheat, or the poisons they spray it with, that is the question? The answer doesn’t matter, I’m glad I don’t touch it.

Yet another silk purse moment. Life has protected me from at least some forever chemicals.

Do you know what annoys me about them? They stay in the soil for 10,000 years, we eat them and we don’t get to live for 10,000 years!

Well not here anyway. In my reality we’re up to 10,000 years and counting.

Have a lovely, loving day where you only meet nice people who think you’re amazing.

You read my blogs, so you’re absolutely wonderful.

Love and move love

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx

One thought on “A Long Forgotten Hobby”

  1. I don’t have any dietary issues. Other than I often shouldn’t indulge in the sweet things so much. But not having any options is hard, when food is seen as a social thing. A few drink, a plate of nibbles. That seems impossible too.
