Lidl Sweet Corner strawberry pencils

I have finally found them! Candy pencils have always been one of my favourite sweets, but finding a vegan version has been so hard. I have no idea why its been so hard, but I had given up ever finding a vegan version. My local Lidl has never been the best, usually having a very … Continue reading Lidl Sweet Corner strawberry pencils

Sunday Musings

Daily writing promptWhat personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?View all responses Wilful ignorance. I don't know if this fully counts as a personality trait, but it really bothers me when people are told new information, but they refuse to accept it because that would require them to change their own world … Continue reading Sunday Musings

Udderlicious dragon fruit sorbet and chocolate gelato

Udderlicious is a brand that I have seen around for quite some time now but was never certain that they had any vegan options available. The few times I did have a look into one of their stores, they had no vegan options on offer, so I gave up checking. That was probably a few … Continue reading Udderlicious dragon fruit sorbet and chocolate gelato

Strawberry Jammie Dodgers

For my international readers out there, Jammies Dodgers are probably one of the main pillars of British society. Jammie Dodgers, Digestives and custard creams. These three biscuits are likely the only things keeping most British people together most of the time. I know, at least for myself, that there are very few situations where a … Continue reading Strawberry Jammie Dodgers

Floof Friday

Seems this area of my local canal is the bird hang out spot... I believe we've got a heron, some Canadian geese, a magpie (?) and a couple ducks. This also doesn't show the swans and cygnets that I saw a little further along, nor the many different groups of ducks that I saw - … Continue reading Floof Friday

The pumpkin cookie is also back!

I believe this cookie has been around for three years or so, but I don't recall seeing it last year otherwise I would have had one. As per my previous review, this cookie is again a very pleasant autumnal treat to enjoy with a warming coffee. It does have a slight pumpkin flavour to it, … Continue reading The pumpkin cookie is also back!

It’s pumpkin season!

I don't care that it's only September 2 (because I actually had this on 31 August) and so it is arguably too soon to be thinking about the autumn and Halloween....but not for me. I was made for autumnal covers, spooky vibes and oversized knitwear. And we all know that the seasons are dictated by … Continue reading It’s pumpkin season!
