The Anonymous Widower

Heroic Stories?

Someone had an e-mail read out on BBC Radio 5 because they were having to take a train from Edinburgh to Nice.  I’ve done most of that journey.

Here’s my reply.

A few weeks ago I had a small stroke and was banned from flying.

I went from Cambridge to Nice for a holiday and back by Eurostar and TGV.  It wasn’t too bad, but TGV food is rubbish compared to Eurostar.  Especially, if you’re a coeliac like me and need a gluten-free meal.

I’m off to Holland at the May Bank Holiday and booked the train, as I find short haul airlines not worth the hassle and I’m smuggling gluten-free bread mix back into the UK.

They didn’t read it out.

You may ask why I’m smuggling gluten-free bread mix into the UK.  My prefered mix, Dr. Schar, is now no longer available in the UK.
