Dandelion and Burdock Restaurant

Just been given a rcommendation for this restaurant, situated between Manchester and Leeds. I’m determined to have a ride out and try it – shame I don’t have any good veggie friends locally – but I’m working on it!! May take the kids and make a day out of it. Let you know but in the meantime, here’s the link!  D&B Link

To protest or not to protest?

I’ve been having a thoughful few days. Is life as a vegan enough? Is sharing things about veganism and animal cruelty on blogs and facebook enough. I’ve also been thinking about why I haven’t been more actively invloved and the answer is fear. I don’t want to get in trouble. Yet what would I actually be doing wrong? Standing up and saying that I believe it is wrong to murder or abuse...

Lazy

I’ve not posted for a while, part laziness, part trying to figure out a few things in my life! Things I have discovered since my last post. 1. Vegan and Veggie friends are so important. Not just because they don’t shovel meat down their faces but they most likely share other opinions and viewpoints. If they are compassionate about animals, likely they are compassionate about people too. 2. Support...

Alpro Soya Milk

I have recently become aware that Alpro (and Provomel) have been taken over by a dairy. This sort of conflicts with my idea of not giving money to dairy farms. Does anyone else feel the same? Plus the company doesn’t sound like one I want to support financially. I am now on the hunt for an ethical soya milk so would welcome any suggestions. As I don’t live near a health shop my choices are limited....

Kill the Badgers!…Or do what you can to save them.

Yet again, the UK is going back to murdering Badgers. People fought tooth and nail to stop the Welsh cull and now this (full BBC article below). Please write to the governement, your MP or sign an online petition to say that this is no way to go forward, especially with no hard evidence to prove a link between badgers and Bovine TB. We should let the Badgers live their lives as naturally as they can. Maybe if...

Breakfast at Euston!

Now it is not very often I have something complimentary to say about a UK train station. However, I have to say that I had a delightful breakfast at the Sloe Bar Cafe recently. I was in a rush and missed breakfast and was meeting a connecting train with forty five minutes to spare so instead of the predicted bag of crisps on the train, I tried the veggie breakfast at this cafe (which is inside the station)....

Can’t chose!

What to blog about today? The fact that thousands of animals are being killed in japan as they no longer have owners due to the tragic earthquake and tsunami – by the way if this upsets you as much as me then please sign the petition at: http://apps.facebook.com/petitions/1/unclaimed-pets-to-be-gassed-in-72hrs-in-japan/ A sad reality: Japanese animal holding centres in and around the disaster areas have...

Knowsley Safari Park

Knowsley Safari Park comes under fire today after I saw a message from one of the members of the Manchester Vegan Society about an article from the Sun newspaper. The park regularly cull animals and use this as a training session for staff, meaning that some animals are not killed humanely (not that they should be killed in the first place of course). I would advise you to read the article, if only to have the...

Vegan Purses

As you may know I have just set up a small online shop selling ethical goods such as vegan purses and recycled and fair trade bags, jewellery and gifts. Some of the jewellery is hand made, other items commissioned or bought in from trusted acquaintances! I’ve just got a new line of vegan purses in and they are gorgeous. Have one myself! It’s so hard to find a good non leather purses. Usually as vegans...
