It is the 1st November which means one thing... It's National Novel Writing Month!!! I was first introduced to NaNoWriMo about 5 years ago and since then every November there has been an attempt for me to write 50,000 in the month.

Can vegans support zoos?
I want to have a discussion with you all, because it is something that I have been very interested in for some time. When I was at university I actually did a whole dissertation on whether zoos were good or bad for animal welfare. I went in thinking that there was no way that zoos … Continue reading Can vegans support zoos?
Couch to 5k programme
I used to run all the time and I used to really enjoy it. But about 3 years ago it started to be more of a habit than an actual hobby. I was going to the gym to run for 25 minutes, purely so I could say that I had been for a run. My … Continue reading Couch to 5k programme

We had noticed him slowing down for a few days - not as energetic and a bit unsteady on his feet - and when we woke on Christmas Eve he was in his final moments. As with most pets, … Continue reading Dealing with the loss of a pet
FAIL – why does my coconut milk hate me?

All you needed was: coconut cream (2 cans worth)caocao powder (2 tablespoons, or however much to your taste) Simples, right? WRONG. Who knew that coconut milk could be such a cruel, cruel mistress?
