Yesterday, we lost our Merry. Little Merry enjoying a bit of banana in my hand He was about 3 years old and had been on the decline for a few days. We made vet appointments just to be sure but he didn't make it to them. He died at home, next to his brother Pippin, … Continue reading Hug your pets today

The End of Camp NaNoWriMo
My end word total for my Camp NaNoWriMo project: 32,098 words My goal had been 30,000 but in hindsight I actually think I could have tried to push myself and tried a bigger target. In November the goal is 50,000 and with how my story was going and how much time I had to write, … Continue reading The End of Camp NaNoWriMo
Happy Earth Day!
In honour of today, and in honour of this gorgeous earth that we live on, step away from the computer and go outside. If you are in lock down, go for a little walk outside, or just sit by an open window (preferably one which gets some sunshine) and take a look at the sky...it … Continue reading Happy Earth Day!
Camp NaNoWriMo 2020
2020 has already thrown all of my plans out of whack: I wanted to travel more this year, spend more time socialising, see my friends and family more often, take on some new learning courses.....until 2020 put a big old OUT OF ORDER sign across the whole world. So....damn it. One of my big things … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2020
Wash your hands!!
It has been a bit of a weird time this week. Half of the world is going mental about coronavirus, while the other half is pretending that nothing is happening. I have been super busy this week, trying to figure out what the plan is for everything moving forward. And I'm sorry to say, there … Continue reading Wash your hands!!
Lush’s Comfort bath bomb
Who doesn't love a pampering spa day?! Unfortunately, these spa days can be really expensive so if I am in need of some downtime, with some pampering and some relaxing, I go to Lush. Almost all of Lush's products are vegan friendly and as a company they campaign against animal testing. I grab myself a … Continue reading Lush’s Comfort bath bomb
Taylor Tries to free roam bunnies: A journey
We have had our two bunnies, Lola (the fluffy lionhead) and Sasha (brown and white) for just over 6 months now, and I love them more than anything else in this world. They may be small, but these little bunnies make up for their size with their sass and their silly antics. They have been … Continue reading Taylor Tries to free roam bunnies: A journey
Taylor Tries the Gregg’s Vegan Sausage Roll
The dish that started it all. The one pastry that was supposedly responsible to every Gregg's employee getting a tidy little Christmas bonus due to it's resounding success and popularity during 2019. Such success was greatly deserved, as these little pastry wrapped Quorn sausages are just the right thing. Not only are they super cheap, … Continue reading Taylor Tries the Gregg’s Vegan Sausage Roll
Plant Kitchen Salted Caramel Truffles
Another new addition for Veganuary comes in the form of Marks and Spencer's Plant Kitchen range. It involves a whole new range of plant based food, including these little droplets of joy - The Salted Caramel chocolate truffles. I am not usually the biggest fan of salted caramel, as all I tend to taste is … Continue reading Plant Kitchen Salted Caramel Truffles
Taylor Tries the Gregg’s vegan glazed donuts
Oh Lordy.... My time has come. I have finally lived long enough to see vegan glazed donuts. Hyperbole aside, when I first went vegan (some 4 long years ago) one of the main 'downsides' of the vegan movement was that there was no real alternatives for cakes or pastries. Truth be told, I am not … Continue reading Taylor Tries the Gregg’s vegan glazed donuts
