New book reviews
One of the things I began to focus on more in 2023 was reading. As a child, I could read for hours at a time and easily get through a hundred books a year. Sadly, as with all childhood things, I lost the joy of reading as I grew older and my focus shifted onto … Continue reading New book reviews
Can vegans wear wool?
I saw an interesting debate online the other day about whether wool was ethical or not for vegans. The most interesting part though was that some people seemed to be very much split down the middle.

There is usually a little row of market stalls along the high street every day, but suddenly all of the usual signs were replaced with vegan shops and local businesses. I therefore … Continue reading Kim’s vegan bakes – raspberry and white chocolate cupcake
Endling: Extinction is Forever – Game Review
Aside from being a very passionate vegan, I am also a big fan of video games. I am a very firm believer in that a good video game can be just as comforting and rewarding as a good book. As much as I love curling up with a good book, I have found that video … Continue reading Endling: Extinction is Forever – Game Review
