Regular blog readers will know that D and myself will nip over the Welsh border into England and visit some places we like.   So its no surprise that we ended up in Bristol again.   We rarely ever go into the city centre as we like visiting and supporting independent places, so this time we decided to take a wander in a part of the city that we have wanted to see for a long while  - St Paul's.   St Paul's in Bristol has history.  Here's a link to UK Port Cities:  District of St Paul's   and an  article in  The Guardian (2016)  about St Paul's   from 2016 to give you some insight.   St Paul's was one of Bristol's first ever suburbs. Many people know of St Paul's Carnival - a rival to Notting Hill Carnival, but sadly in 2014 it had been halted due to funding .  Last year I read my fist serious non fiction book in years  The Good Immigrant.   I re-read it again early this year an...

I have tucking into vegan junk food fairly a bit recently, but mostly when we go to Bristol .  And I don't mean burgers as I make a good vegan and vegan burger myself ,  its the other stuff - greasy, deep-fried.  I am a little excited to learn that Cardiff will soon be getting its first vegan junk called Greazy Vegan .  In 2015, Cardiff  got its first vegan eatery Anna Loka  and its good.  I know if I lived in Cardiff, I would be a frequent diner.  However, this blog post is when I went to Plymouth, England with some close young girl friends, well truth is their parents wanted them chaperoned - yes, people still do that and they felt they could trust me, don't know why?!.  I agreed as long as I was able to choose where we went to have breakfast - lunch = Brunch; and it was my treat. When I told them we were going to a vegan eatery called Samphire Brasserie to eat, two of them turned their noses and proceeded to tell me that had or...

Two weeks ago we went to Hereford, a cathedral city in Herefordshire. Hereford lies on the River Wye and borders with Wales.  D  tried to remind me that we had been there before, but I really did not remember when.  The reason we were in Hereford was to check out the Hereford Vegan Market at Shirehall in the town centre (below). Would you believe it if I told you I was the first in line, well I was . Here's evidence, some of the stalls were still setting up.  Bubberlicious had some interesting bath products, I regret not picking up some as we had planned to return there later in the day.  Badger Action Network were there.   I signed their petition.  I was also reminded of my copy of  Innocent Badger Cookbook :  The Tried to Bury Us...But They Didn't Know We were Seeds   which I recommend.  Hunt Investigation Team were also there.  HIT expose the truth about hunting and other cru...
