There is something very special about pastries for breakfast. I can't explain why, but having a pastry for breakfast just feels so much nicer than cereal, or oats, or even a full english fry up. The downside is that making really good pastry from scratch is very hard, and I have never lived anywhere where … Continue reading Pret bake at home vegan croissant

I have finally set up a social media page!
Naturally I am very late to this party, but I finally decided to take the plunge and to just create an Instagram account for this blog. It is still very early stages, but it has been quite fun to create shorter form content and to share a bit more of my day that way. https://www.instagram.com/taylortalksvegan?igsh=MW82M2d4OHFhaDZmbA== … Continue reading I have finally set up a social media page!
Floof Friday
The baby moorhens have finally become big enough to venture out of their nests to graze with their parents at the local pond! As you can see they are still super fluffy, but they are so big and so darn cute to watch as they go about their day. Plus they are very vocal, so … Continue reading Floof Friday
Book Review: Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton
Book blurb: Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed … Continue reading Book Review: Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton

Getting back into it
Moving house is not for the weak, and it turns out I grossly underestimated just how time consuming moving house can be. There is still work to be done to the house to bring it up to the standard I would like, but it is finally starting to get there. So planning to get back … Continue reading Getting back into it
Taking a break
I am currently in the process of moving house, and I admit that I may have underestimated just how much packing is involved! Plus the amount of admin that goes into moving properties, needless to say my brain is feeling very mushy at the moment. I am therefore going to take a little break from … Continue reading Taking a break
Sunday Musings
How do you waste the most time every day? Doom scrolling. Sometimes a little doom scroll is needed after a work day, where I don't want to have to think for just 5 minutes to relax a little bit. But there are times where 5 minutes turns into 30 minutes (if not longer) and that … Continue reading Sunday Musings
Faith in Nature orange soap bar
I like to circulate my scents so I usually have two soaps on the go at one time. Mainly so I can try the different scents and products, but also so I don't get too used to one scent. The Faith in Nature range so far has been pretty good and I am slowly working … Continue reading Faith in Nature orange soap bar
Sunday Musings
How do you want to retire? Quickly. And early. I believe the age of retirement for my age is 65, but I am also aware that this number grows each year, and with 65 being about 35 years away at this point, I am also aware that the laws and rules around retirement may change … Continue reading Sunday Musings
