    Well look at the time! It flies by so fast! With chime after chime The present is past! So we’d better make the most of it! How much do you wanna bet there’ll be more veg*ns at the end of 2015 than there were at the beginning? 😉 Happy New Year everybody, Love from Violet…

  • Knit your own Father Christmas

    A bonus of Miranda working at Raystede animal sanctuary‘s charity shop is that she comes across lots of useful things like old knitting patterns and left over yarn that people have donated, which she can then buy and make use of.  And now you can make use of this one too 🙂 And I know you…

  • Happy Christmas Sandra!

    Sandra has achieved the unprecedented legal status of a “non-human person.” A court has recognized that she has rights and that being kept in a zoo unlawfully deprives her of her freedom.

  • Yule Log mark 1

    I want to make a yule log for Christmas day so I thought I’d better practise.  I found a vegan recipe and really helpful instructions at Vegan Good Things but, being both lazy and impatient, I decided to try to make a simpler version.  I am very grateful to Leinana at Vegan Good Things for the how to…

  • A Good Book and some Upcycling

    When we began our home schooling adventure all those years ago we were very lucky to find this wonderful book.  Unqualified Education is full of inspiring ideas and information, advice and encouragement.  It is an absolute joy and still a great resource after the children have grown up. We decided to home school when my eldest…

    The compost bin was hungry And it wanted something new. It’d reduced old fruit and lettuce leaves To gloopy, slimy goo. “Enough with all the green waste, For now I’ve had enough. I need something dry and brown Like paper and card and stuff!” So strips of card were fed to it And more and…

    “T-wit T-woo,” go the owls, Sc-ratch and dangle, the spiders.

  • Well Fed Not An Animal Dead

  • Live Right, Shine Bright

    We are not fully raw; we still enjoy cooked potatoes, and lentils; we have rolled oats for breakfast; we eat tofu.  But we do include as much raw as we can in our diet and it makes us feel great.  Energised. I love juicing fruits and greens and making them into ice pops.  I love…

  • Yummy Scrummy Crispy Cakes

    I used to make crispy cakes which were absolutely scrumptious but really not good for my health because of all the syrup in the recipe.  So I thought, I wonder if I can make these gorgeous treats healthier by leaving out the syrup and substituting dates.  Turns out – you can!  I am therefore very…
