I am slowly working on my garden space, and as it is winter I have finally put in place a proper bird feeder. And I finally caught a guest! This little robin stopped by for a little bite to eat, and for a little drink from the bird bath. I did not expect to feel … Continue reading Floof Friday

Tofu Heaven tofu bites
This was easily the best accidental find that I mae whilst in Rotterdam. As a city, Rotterdam seemed amazing for vegan food and vegan options, and I definitely would like to go back to fully explore it all without needing to rush. Our cruise ship was only docked in Rotterdam for around 24 hours, and … Continue reading Tofu Heaven tofu bites
My time on a cruise boat
Apologies for the slight change in my posting schedule - I was on a boat! Well, a cruise ship to be exact and I doubt that it could really be called a boat. It had 18 floors! This holiday was so needed and I was cut off entirely from any sort of internet connection when … Continue reading My time on a cruise boat

Floof Friday
My new area has so many new neighbours! We seem to have multiple groups of these birds, and I learnt that these are house sparrows. They are very chatty! I love waking up in the morning to hearing them chirping away in the surrounding bushes and trees. Males tend to have a grey cap, chestnut … Continue reading Floof Friday
Best vegan candy for Halloween
Halloween is around the corner and I am very excited! Halloween is my favourite time of year and whilst I celebrate Halloween a little differently nowadays, I am always a fan of any celebration that promotes eating lots of candy and watching spooky movies. I therefore thought it would be helpful to compile a list … Continue reading Best vegan candy for Halloween
UPDATE – Is the European Union planning to ban widely-used ‘meaty names’ for plant-based food?
Further to my original post, The European Parliament has indeed voted to ban the use of traditional meat names - including ‘steak’ and ‘burger’ - to describe plant-based alternatives. Members of the conservative EPP (European People’s Party) group supported the move, arguing that using meat and dairy terminology for vegan-friendly counterparts is “misleading for the … Continue reading UPDATE – Is the European Union planning to ban widely-used ‘meaty names’ for plant-based food?
