Fifteen months ago I stopped eating animal and poultry meat. So far, so good. I’ve had a few teeny tiny bits of bacon in a quiche, an accidental consumption of some chicken in what I thought was a vegetarian rice roll, and two, crust-less and dolls-house-sized, ham sandwiches at High Tea……even I can’t survive on cake […]
Yes I know that’s not a proper word, what are you? the grammar police??! Life is absolutely redonkulously busy right now, and there is really no other way to describe it.

I thought it only fair that at least one turkey that features in a Christmas blog this year should still be alive and well, and on his way to do a little last minute gift buying by the looks of him. After much whinging about christmas smishmash I’ve finally got the cards done and put […]
I’m not going to lie to you: I hate running, I can’t run, I don’t have time to run, I’m really slow, I lose my breath really easily, I get asthma if I try to run, it hurts my knees, it hurts everything, I’ve never been sporty, I’ve never been really fit, my boobs are too big to run….and […]
