Crosstown and John Whaite rainbow scroll

This doughnut was created in collaboration with John Whaite as part of a charity initiative to raise money for 'akt' as part of their Pride events in 2024. I tried this about two weeks ago, in August. Here in the UK, Pride Month is held in June, however Crosstown state on their website that their … Continue reading Crosstown and John Whaite rainbow scroll

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

Sunday musings

Daily writing promptAre you holding a grudge? About?View all responses I don't care how petty this sounds... Burger King cancelled their vegan nuggets. They did this about 6 months ago...but I am still not over it and every time I walk past my local branch I get disappointed all over again. And no...I am still … Continue reading Sunday musings

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!

But for those in the animal protection movement he is also an outspoken advocate for animal welfare, most notably fighting for the welfare of badgers. He has recently worked with the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) to create a documentary … Continue reading Review – Brian May: The Badgers, The Farmers, and Me

Fridge Raiders meat free Southern style tasty bites

I am aware that this may be a controversial opinion, but I actually don't mind the vegan Fridge Raider bites. I have seen online that these used to be much loved within the vegan community before the recipe was changed, and now you would think that these were little chunks of death the way some … Continue reading Fridge Raiders meat free Southern style tasty bites

Krispy Kreme Cinnamon Swirl

I love this time of year, because the flavours on offer across the country move away from fruity summer flavours to cosy winter flavours. I was very excited to hear that the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte will be making a comeback in September, and now Krispy Kreme have released their new cinnamon swirl doughnut. I … Continue reading Krispy Kreme Cinnamon Swirl

Floof Friday

The squirrels that live in the green space outside of my home are currently gorging themselves on the amount of food currently available. In winter, there are a few kind neighbours that appear to leave out extra food for the wildlife, but in summer people also begin to leave out more bird feeders and have … Continue reading Floof Friday
