Did I tell you we had 1 inch of snow in the Welsh valleys at the weekend.  It was a bit of a surprise, to look out of the bedroom window to find the greenhouse and dirt ground covered with the cold white stuff.  It took us a little while to scrape the ice of the car too. Anyway, to escape the cold and being stuck indoors, we took a drive and made a day trip of going into Bristol.  I love Bristol for many reasons, when I graduated from University all those years ago  - I applied for jobs in Bristol, Brighton and Birmingham, but ended up finding a job in the city when I went to Uni - Glasgow.  I do love exploring Bristol as well as trying out the many vegetarian and vegan eateries.  I also enjoy taking a lazy wander around  Stokes Croft for the graffiti art - but there was not much new there this time round, just a handful around the #RefugeesWelcome.    This is the only one that I managed to capture on camera.  Its Paddington Bear -...

I've never been to Cheltenham, England but when I saw that there was Cheltenham were hosting a Vegan Fair, well I thought this would be the weekend to go and make a whole day of it.   It was icy cold, but the hospitality of the Cheltenham people was very warm that it was a delight to explore the city, but also the stalls at the Cheltenham Vegan Fair.    Although it was small,  I loved it as it made a fabulous and genuine refreshing change from the usual suspects in South Wales.  So here are some of the delights that my eyes (and belly) were able to feast on.  I apologise sincerely in advance if I have missed your stall here, it was getting busy so I was unable to take pictures of all that were there, but I did visit each and every one of them.    Lovely little Badger flower pots I know a friend who would love this in her kitchen.  I regret not getting it for her now, it would have been a nice house warming gift.

Wow, what a jam packed weekend I have had.   Yesterday we went to the annual  Elvis Festival in Porthcawl  and this morning to the first Vegan Welsh Vegan Festival in Cardiff.  I apologise in advance, I know my photographs are not great, but one reason this time that is legitimate is that the venue The Tramshed which is a theatre was a dark venue. I did my best for the stall holders there to showcase their vegan offerings.   I have to kick start with Cafe Atma which is based in Cardiff.  Here are three burgers Chakra Burger, Babu Burger and The Nutty One.    Falafel Wrap and Kofta Wrap Gav and his colleague are from Tandoori Q  .  On my wish list is one of their Tandoori Ovens, my father would be pleased.     Mex It Up cooking up some Jackfruit on twitter .   A brand of Elephants Jackfruit new to me   Fair Foods Catering    Sharaf Natural Foods Vegetarian Food Studi...
