Whittard Orange hot chocolate

I am so glad that it is now autumn here in England. English autumns are very much the same as winters, in that it is grey 99% of the time, usually raining, but the weather is slightly more bipolar. At the moment the mornings and the evenings are getting really quite icy (under 10 degrees … Continue reading Whittard Orange hot chocolate

Afterschool Cookie Club chocolate and mandarin cookie dough

This is a brand that I had never heard of until my husband told me about it. We had a day exploring London and this shop was advertised as being in Victoria, and as we were nearby we decided to take the trip down to try this. I love a good cookie and when I … Continue reading Afterschool Cookie Club chocolate and mandarin cookie dough

Java Whiskers Cat Café at Shepherds Bush

If there is one thing I am a sucker for, it is a cat café. I obviously want to make sure that they are an ethical establishment before I visit, but once I am satisfied that the cat welfare is the main priority, I am all for it! There is nothing better than a coffee, … Continue reading Java Whiskers Cat Café at Shepherds Bush

Floof friday

Following on from my previous post, I thought everyone would appreciate this pigeon, having a little rest in a sunbeam in St James's Park. Rest assured, he was behind a metal fence so that no one could accidentally stand on him, and no one was reaching over to bother him. We watched him rummage around … Continue reading Floof friday

The birds at St James’s Park London

It was my birthday recently and since the weather was (surprisingly!) beautiful still here in the UK, I decided to be a tourist for the day and check out all of these places that I have never been to in London. St James's Park is beautiful, and right by Buckingham Palace and the Horse Guards, … Continue reading The birds at St James’s Park London

Pizza Pilgrims vegan margherita

I first discovered Pizza Pilgrims about 5 years ago, however at that point the only vegan option they offered was a tomato base pizza. Which is exactly how it sounds - pizza with tomato sauce on it - and so it wasn't really a favourite of mine to visit. The pizza was very tasty even … Continue reading Pizza Pilgrims vegan margherita

Vegan Nutella announced!

I audibly squealed with excitement when I sae this announcement... The vegan deities have answered our prayers! Finally a vegan version of Nutella is coming to the UK and I cannot explain how excited for this I am. I fully intend to buy a jar as soon as it is released, eat the whole thing … Continue reading Vegan Nutella announced!

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

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

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
