Mince pie fans who are vegan and/or coeliac can, apparently, eat these in safety. My cousin's husband liked them (he's gluten-free).

The lovely people from Jason Williams' storage in Burry Port have been. They kindly packed up my books, and I hope to get a charity to collect them. 5 boxes! Some I'd like to have kept, but if I want to read them again, it will have to be on Kindle!
