July: The Month in Review - Life, Allergies & Free From Foods

I got so carried away with other Dairy free, Gluten free, Sugar free and Allergy-friendly things that I completely forgot July had ended... So, so long July and Happy August by the way! Sometimes with blogs I find that even if I read every post I often turn off my memory when I turn off the computer no matter how valuable the information. Hell, my Google Reader has so many starred items to return to that it’s become a black hole!

So if you’re the same as me, or if you missed a post or two, or if you just want a little reminder of all the safe places to go or the fun allergen-free bits and pieces you can try when you’re in or around Dublin (or even just Ireland, because we’re such a teensy island!) here’s a quick little clip of the month in review:
