Alikats wild camping

23/10/2018 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  2 Comments

Way back in 2011 I first posted about my nephew Alastair and his wife Kathryn (the Al and Kat of Alikats…) who had set off to Morzine in the French Alps to run  skiing chalets. For the first year or two they ran chalets for other people, to learn their trade. But by 2013 they had  a chalet of their own and Kathryn, already an excellent cook, was offering a wide range of freefrom, allergen friendly food to her guests. This  included our good friend Ruth of What Allergy? – an alarmingly allergic person to cook for! Here is Ruth’s report on her trip in 2014.

Since then their enterprise has progressed by leaps and bounds and for the 2018/9 season they are offering six catered chalets and four self catering chalets –  running on to five self catering chalets over the summer. For more information on their winter holiday  packages – and Kat’s delicious, allergen-friendly food – check in to Alikats Mountain Holidays.

Meanwhile they have converted an old farmhouse  for themselves to live and and now have three children, two cats – and Hector.

Not content with all of this, Al has taken up wild camping in the mountains – and not just wild camping but wild camping with Ivy and Wilf, his older two children – and a video camera…. Here is what they got up to.

    Golly this looks fun! Maybe next time he could prepare an allergy-free meal too!? I was drooling with jealousy over that cheesy, buttery, eggy omelette!

Homeopathy – a second string to our vaccination bow?

Cuba has always had a very individualistic– and on the whole very successful – approach to public and population health. The hard line socialist nature of their politics, especially in early days after the revolution, resulted in very high levels of education and medical care – but also in isolation from much of the developed …

Sad, sad news

Yesterday evening, Lisa Acton – co founder, with her husband John Burke, of the Irish FreeFrom Food Awards – finally lost a long and heroic battle with cancer. To my regret I had only met her a few times. A couple of years ago when John brought the whole family to a FreeFrom Food Awards …

Are COVID vaccines safe for those with allergies?

Allergy reactors are, understandably, worried as to whether they should accept a vaccination if and when it is offered. After consultation with the BSACI (British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology) the MHRA (Medicines  and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) have updated their original warning that those with allergies to vaccines, drugs and food should not …

Disastrous Brexit fallout for medical cannabis users

Thanks to the tireless campaigning of a group of  ‘epilepsy mothers’, lead by Hannah Deacon, the mother of Alfie Dingley, and her consultant, neurologist Professor Mike Barnes, a change in the law in 2018 allowed the prescription of medical cannabis for children with certain rare types of epilepsy, those in chronic pain and for those …

The trouble about gluten-free oats

Oats are delicious – oats are nutritious – they contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and are an excellent source of fibre – they do not contain the protein gliadin, the gluten fraction that coeliacs need to avoid – they add texture to gluten free baking and are easy to cook with. Few …

Happy, if distanced, Christmas!

After this very strange and, for many people, horribly difficult year I wanted to wish you all a very peaceful, safe, healthy and hopefully happy Christmas. And offer you a little allergic chortle. Those of you who used to receive the FoodsMatter magazine will remember all of Christopher’s wonderful allergy related cartoons – the caption …
