Food Allergy Made Easy | Food Allergy Safety Based On Experience and Research
Hey food allergy mom! Is there really such a thing as an allergy-friendly resort? You want a vacation where you can actually relax, knowing your child is safe. But searching online can feel overwhelming. It's hard to find anything about allergies, and even then, it's hard to know what allergy-aware actually looks like in practice. Are they talking about a chef who understands cross contact… or is it just a single gluten-free option on the buffet? And the truth is, planning a trip with food allergies takes extra layers of research and preparation—because as moms, we can't just book and hope for the best. We need to know what we're walking into. So, if you've ever wondered how to find an allergy-friendly resort, stay with me until the end—I'll share the insider strategies I use as a travel advisor and food allergy mom, and you'll walk away knowing exactly what to look for.

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas interviews Emily Graver, an adventure operations specialist at Macs Adventure, about the Hadrian's Wall walk. Jonathan is planning to walk the trail, a lifelong goal, in summer 2026. They discuss the history, planning, and preparation needed for this iconic 84-mile trail that runs across Northern England. Emily shares insights on logistics, fitness requirements, and the best sections to explore, as well as tips for packing and dealing with unpredictable British weather. The conversation also highlights local attractions, accommodations, and the support available for walkers, making it a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in this historic journey. Please help Jonathan make this dream of the walk happen by purchasing the special limited edition fundraiser Hadrian's Wall 2026 Calendar. Links in the show notes below. Note: Cover image in podcast is NOT Hadrian's Wall, it's Hardknott Roman Fort nearby in Cumbria (I don't have any pictures of Hadrian's Wall...yet). Links Hadrian's Wall Special Calendar Jon's Hadrian's Wall Announcement Post Hadrian's Wall Update Anglotopia & Londontopia 2026 Calendar Fundraiser Macs Adventure Hadrian's Wall Walks Cicerone Hadrian's Wall Guidebook Hadrian's Wall Path: British Walking Guide Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail official website Hadrian's Wall Country Bus (AD122) timetables and routes Friends of Anglotopia Takeaways Hadrian's Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular long-distance walk. The walk requires careful planning and preparation, especially regarding fitness and logistics. Walking 15 to 30 kilometers a day is common, and the terrain can be hilly. Packing for all seasons is essential due to unpredictable British weather. Booking accommodations in advance is highly recommended, especially for summer months. The East to West route offers a unique experience of walking from a busy city to peaceful countryside. Vindolanda is a must-visit site along the route, known for its historical significance. Solo walkers will find camaraderie on the trail, while group walkers may face accommodation challenges. The app provided by Macs Adventures offers useful information and emergency contacts for walkers. Public transport links to the starting points of the walk are very good, making travel easier. Sound Bites 1. On the physical challenge: "The biggest mistake people make is they underestimate the level of walking that's involved. You are walking like 15 to 30 kilometres a day. It's also very hilly. There's a lot of ascent and descent." 2. On booking timing: "May is booking up a lot for people, very keen people that are ready to go on holiday for next May. It books up really, really quickly. So I'd really recommend if you've got like, if you want to... book ahead now." 3. On the route direction debate: "I personally did the East to West and I prefer it because you're going from like quite a busy city, Newcastle, and then you're slowly walking towards like really peaceful areas... You're also following the route that the wall was originally built by the Romans." 4. On the most challenging section: "The most challenging section is between a cute little village called Once Brood and the Hayton Gate turn off. It's very, very hilly... you are looking at 18 miles total in that one section." 5. On accommodations: "I will say with the Hadrian's Hall, there's less opportunities to upgrade your accommodation just because of the places we work with. They're very, very small. So it will tend to be more bed and breakfasts and inns." 6. On the historical discovery at Vindolanda: "They've discovered preserved handwritten parchments from Roman soldiers writing letters home... this Roman soldier asking his mum for a new pair of socks because it's so chilly and things like that." 7. On the full English breakfast challenge: "My personal point of view, accommodations will serve you such a big full English breakfast that by the time it gets to lunch, I don't usually need any. I can just power on through because like it's like sausages, bacon, eggs..." 8. On solo walking: "For solo walkers, I would say that Hadrian's Walk is a really nice walk for solo walkers because of the camaraderie that you'll get... as soon as you walk and you see someone, you say hello, you'll get chatting." 9. On essential packing: "I learned the hard way blister plasters, you have to pack them because my feet were absolutely awful and then I got to this lovely accommodation... very kind lady there gave me her pack of blister plasters." 10. On weather unpredictability: "I will say the weather is unpredictable. You need to pack for all seasons, but that's just, that's British weather. And we love talking about the weather. That's like our passion."

The Articulate Fly delivers another essential East Tennessee Fishing Report with veteran guide Ellis Ward, covering the critical fall transition period when serious fly fishers need to adapt their approach. Ward, who operates in the premier East Tennessee tailwater system, breaks down current conditions on the Watauga River (low flows no recreational releases) and South Holston River (reliable generation), while detailing the shift to smaller fall patterns with bugs in the 16-22 range. This episode delivers actionable techniques for fishing floating lines at distance, including Ward's proven lift-and-drop method that positions anglers for downstream hook sets and eliminates problematic line slack. Ward explains why downstream positioning is crucial when everything becomes "muted by fly line stretch and rod tip," especially during the pickier fall conditions.Whether you're planning fall trips to the Watauga and South Holston systems or looking to refine your distance nymphing and dry fly techniques, this report provides the local intelligence and technical insights that separate successful anglers from the crowd.To learn more about Ellis, check out our interview!Related ContentS6, Ep 139 - Exploring East Tennessee's Changing Waters with Ellis WardS6, Ep 37 - Streamer Secrets and Dry Fly Dreams with East Tennessee's Ellis WardS6, Ep 128 - Catch Big Fish: Ellis Ward's Insider Tips for East Tennessee AnglersS7, Ep 14 - The Streamer Playbook: Tips and Tactics for Targeting Big Trout in East Tennessee with Ellis WardAll Things Social MediaFollow Ellis and Flyzotics on Instagram.Follow Ellis on YouTube.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?

In this episode of Game Changers for Government Contractors, host Michael LeJeune is joined by Christa Williams and Erin Olenjack from Bank of America's government contracting team for a candid and practical discussion about what contracting officers and bankers wish every contractor knew. Erin, a former contracting officer, unpacks the most common misconceptions about KO relationships—like why you may never hear back after sending an email, why it's not personal, and how to communicate with purpose and clarity. She also dives into the strategic value of pre-solicitation engagement and explains why blindly chasing contracting officers won't move the needle—building relationships with program offices will. Christa brings clarity to the often misunderstood banking side of GovCon, explaining why having a contract in hand doesn't guarantee financing, how banks evaluate risk differently than factoring companies, and when to bring in alternative lenders like Republic Capital Access. She shares why diversification, proactive planning, and relationship-building before you need money are key to your growth strategy. Whether you're brand new to federal contracting or scaling up to pursue $25M+ contracts, this episode is loaded with real talk, smart strategy, and actionable tips to help you grow your business with confidence and avoid costly missteps. ----- Frustrated with your government contracting journey?

Maximising email sign-ups is the name of the game in our latest chat. We dive deep into the effectiveness of using mystery offers over straightforward discounts, revealing how this simple tweak can significantly boost opt-in rates. I recently tested this with a luxury home brand, and we saw a jump from 12% to 18% in email sign-ups, proving that a little mystery goes a long way. We also explore the importance of running A/B tests on pop-ups, focusing on elements like graphics and copy to see what resonates best with your audience. By the end, you'll be armed with practical strategies to enhance your email marketing efforts and truly optimise your approach moving forward.This insightful episode brings to light the often-overlooked power of email pop-ups in the eCommerce landscape. Shaan Arora, the founder of Alia, joins the conversation to shed light on how effective pop-ups can significantly enhance email sign-up rates and, ultimately, sales. He shares a recent success story where a simple pivot from standard discount offers to a mystery offer resulted in a remarkable increase in email opt-ins, demonstrating the effectiveness of curiosity-driven engagement. Sian's insights challenge the conventional wisdom that bigger discounts always lead to better results, revealing that the way an offer is presented can have a profound impact on customer behavior. Listeners are guided through the essential components of crafting compelling pop-ups, with Sian emphasizing the need for A/B testing to optimize every element. He discusses the common pitfalls brands face, such as neglecting the testing process or failing to update their pop-up designs. Through various examples, he illustrates how testing different graphics, copy, and offers can uncover hidden opportunities to boost sign-up rates and, by extension, sales. The episode underscores the idea that brands should approach pop-up strategies with the same level of optimization and analysis they apply to other marketing channels. The conversation also touches on the timing and context of pop-up displays, suggesting that brands should aim to present pop-ups within the first 10 seconds of a user's visit to capitalize on their initial interest. Sian advocates for multi-stage pop-ups that engage users with relevant questions before asking for their email addresses, noting that this technique can lead to higher conversion rates. By the end of the episode, listeners are equipped with actionable strategies to refine their email pop-up tactics, ensuring they can effectively grow their email lists and enhance their overall marketing performance.Takeaways: Using mystery offers instead of fixed percentage discounts can significantly boost email opt-in rates. It's essential to test various elements of your pop-ups, like graphics and copy, to optimize performance. Running multi-stage pop-ups has shown to increase user commitment and improve signup rates effectively. Brands often overlook the importance of ongoing A/B testing for their pop-up strategies and should treat them similarly to ads. Zero party data questions can enhance engagement by tailoring the pop-up experience to customer interests. Timing is crucial; displaying pop-ups within the first 10 seconds of page load is generally recommended for optimal engagement.
