    A Necessary Evil

    If I had to pick the most important invention of my lifetime, I think it would have to be the smartphone. Not that I’m particularly proud of it, but the amount of time spent messing around with my phone makes it hard not to mention. I suppose, in a way, it dominates quite a bit…

    My Perfect Day

    I thought about writing a whole blog on what my perfect day looks like, but after some thinking, I realised it’s been every day since I met my wife. It’s not about big moments or special occasions—it’s the little things. Waking up next to her, spending time with our son, and just enjoying life together.…

    How Life Events Shape Our Perspective on Time

    Is it just me, or does time speed up as we get older? As kids, a year felt endless—summer holidays dragged on, Christmas took forever, and waiting for your birthday was torture. Now?

    Why I Need to Learn to Dance: A Personal Challenge

    Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. If I could pick one thing I’ve always wanted to do but never seem to get around to, it would have to be learning to dance. My wife, to be fair, isn’t too bad, but I am terrible. It’s not that I don’t have rhythm—it’s just…

Hello,

I’m Ben

A bearded man with slicked-back dark hair and a maroon polo shirt smiling warmly while holding a grey mug of coffee towards the camera.

Having been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease over 8 years ago but also suffering from symptoms for about 30 years, I decided to take action. A few years back, I launched a Facebook group to help fellow gluten-free diners in Milton Keynes find the best places to eat. The group quickly became a little sensation. Encouraged by this success, I created another group for the Northampton area a couple of years later. Both groups have become a useful resource for people searching for gluten-free dining options in their respective areas.

Recently, I took a bold step to expand even further and launched The GF Table UK. My mission? To share my journey, experiences, and insights on living a gluten-free lifestyle and to help others navigate their own paths with ease. Here’s to many more gluten-free adventures ahead!

You can catch me on all your favourite social sites, just hit the buttons below. Let’s connect and make the gluten-free community even stronger!

Some of the earlier images on this site are AI-generated because, let’s be honest, I had neither the time nor the skills to snap Pinterest-worthy photos while juggling another job. But hey, practice makes progress! These days, I’m feeling much braver behind the camera. Happy reading (and judging my photos), everyone!
