If you happen to be anywhere near to Bridlington on the East Yorkshire coast, you might like to pop in to a lovely vegan shop called Planetwise at 12 Prospect Street 🙂
They sell all sorts of vegan staples in the way of food as well as clothes and other essentials like story books 😉
Ok, that picture’s a bit blurry, hang on, let me find another one ….
There, that’s better – look at those lovely books to browse and buy. Don’t they look familiar? 😉 Ooh, is that an ice cream freezer in the background there? Vegan ice cream on a hot day. What could be better?
So, Planetwise looks like a great place to visit doesn’t it? Food, clothes, quality reading material, and perhaps a bit of yoga? Oh, I forgot to mention, Planetwise is also a yoga studio!
If you’re nowhere near East Yorkshire you might consider taking a trip up there on Sunday August 5th for Bridlington’s first ever vegan festival! There’ll be delicious vegan food, live music, speakers, holistic therapies, cookery demonstrations, local vegan crafts, children’s entertainment and activities, and lots of stalls selling ethical, vegan, eco-friendly products like clothes, books, toiletries and food. Tickets available from the Bridlington Spa website 🙂
Check out our new What’s On page to find out more 😀
Raystede, described on its website as a “leading Centre for Animal Welfare”, justifies the selling of animal products in its cafe with the claim that they source “any meat and dairy from local, high welfare farming systems.” But can meat and dairy really ever be humane? Someone who should know the answer to that question is former cattle farmer, Harold Brown. The following is an excerpt from his essay on the Humane Myth website:
“I was born on an independent family cattle farm in south central Michigan, and I have spent over half of my life in agriculture. I started out as any farm kid does who has grown up around animals. There was an indoctrination involved as to how I should relate to farm animals. My indoctrination started with my parents, then family, then community, our church, 4-H, FFA, a land-grant college, and finally, the reinforcement of…

Here’s an enjoyable excerpt from The Concise Vegan Dictionary (see link in sidebar) 😀
I’m working on the Cs now and was delighted to find that the first word which needed redefining was Cake:
Oxford Dictionary definition: Mixture of flour, butter, eggs, sugar etc. baked in the oven.
Our definition: There is absolutely no need of eggs and butter when making a cake. There are so many delicious vegan, and even raw vegan, cake recipes – some very sophisticated and complicated and some, my favourites, needing nothing more than flour, sugar (or other natural sweetener such as agave), vegetable oil and water. And I do not exaggerate when I say that they taste better than any cake I tasted in my pre-vegan days. But you don’t need to take my word for it, look at oatielover’s chocolate cake and Lisa’s vanilla layer cake or any of the thousands of vegan cake recipes out there – there’s something for everyone. All this typing’s…

We’re very excited to tell you that we’ve just opened our new bookshop, right here at Violet’s Vegan Comics! 😀
We do have quite a lot of titles now you know 😉
So, if you’re in need of some new bedtime stories, or you’ve got some adventure-loving kids who are partial to exciting comics and stories, or maybe they’d prefer a colouring book, or a notebook, or someone’s birthday’s coming up, you don’t have to go to Amazon, you can get them right here at Violet’s Vegan Self-Service Bookshop 🙂 
“What d’you mean, self-service?” I hear you ask.
Well, our bookshop is a little old fashioned for a web shop, in that nothing’s automated. There’s no basket and no one’s going to add up your total for you, you’ve got to do it yourself. It’s what you might call a minimalist shop. No added extras, just a load of book images with prices on, a contact form, and a paypal button at the bottom 😀
You’ll see when you get there, it’s all explained and very straightforward, but basically you just choose which books you want, add up the total in your head, add £2.50 shipping to your total and pay the Grand Total through Paypal after telling us what you want using the contact form. Simple.
The other thing that makes our shop rather old fashioned is that there’s no NEXT DAY DELIVERY. In fact there’s unlikely to be a next week delivery. Remember the days when you were told to allow 28 days for delivery? That was normal right? That was to be expected. Well, when you remember that you’ll be pleased to learn that when you order books from us they’ll probably be with you in a couple of weeks 🙂
They’re printed on demand you see, in America. So if you’re ordering from America they might be with you the same week. It just depends how far they’ve got to travel. We’ve found that our orders reach us in the UK in about two weeks. Yes, in fact, every order we’ve placed has been with us two weeks later. I don’t know how long they’ll take to other countries, but hopefully we’ll find out soon 🙂
So you’ve got to wait a bit longer than you’re used to. But so what? What’s your rush? These books are worth waiting for 😀
And the up-side? Well, the up-side is that you can order them from anywhere in the world. You can only get them from Amazon if you’re in America or Europe but we’re happy to send them anywhere 😀
So, next time you’re looking for vegan children’s books, give our selection a browse – there’s something for everyone 🙂
See the bookshop link in the top menu 😀

HART’s inaugural vegan potluck event on Hornby Island was a roaring success – not surprising when you look at the feast that all the attendees put together 😀
Everybody kindly wrote a list of ingredients to put with their contribution so that food intolerances could be avoided, although it was all vegan of course 🙂
There were thirty attendees including a couple of holiday makers from off the island and, well, if you take a look over here you get the whole story from the person who put it all together: Sarat Colling, founder of Hornby Animal Rights Team.
The same event also played host to HART’s first pop-up library and we’re thrilled to see some of our books among the collection. Some of the attendees became library members and the first books were loaned. Anyone who is within reach of Hornby Island, BC, will be delighted to learn that more pop-ups are planned and will be publicised via the website – so subscribe if you don’t want to miss it.
If you don’t want to wait for the next pop-up to join the library, you don’t have to. If you’re a local, you can check out the list of books for loan and then email hornbyhart@gmail.com with the title(s) you wish to borrow and your contact information. They will arrange a time to leave the books for pick up in HART’s box at the Co-op Free Post.
Such a great idea 🙂 I hope lots of people will be inspired to do it in their area so that we’ll all be in reach of one 😀
This should be on Sesame Street 😉
and this fan loved it so much she made her own version:
Don’t hurt the turkeys, they’ve done nothing to you ❤
This is just adorable. All sing along! 😀
‘One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plough along in spite of every obstacle.’
Henry David Thoreau, in Walden.

The above is the gorgeous profile picture of HART: Hornby Animal Rights Team, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to animal advocacy and education, on Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada.
On Friday March 30th, just two days from now, HART will be holding their first event – a community vegan potluck at New Horizons.
In addition to the vegan feast and short film, HART’s first event will also launch their animal advocacy pop-up library. The library books will be on display for browsing and borrowing, and people will have the opportunity to become library members.
The pop-up library is a brilliant idea! 😀
They are planning to cycle from place to place with a trailer full of wonderful animal-friendly books, fiction and non-fiction, for children and adults, and be the most eco-friendly mobile library you can imagine. You can read their books at the event or take them home and return them later 🙂
Quite a few of our books are among the HART Animal Advocacy collection, I’m very excited to tell you, so if you’re in the area, take the opportunity to get over there and borrow something, and make some new friends while you’re at it 🙂
If you’re not in the area, as most of us aren’t unfortunately, why not think about setting up your own Animal Advocacy Pop-Up Library in your community? It’s such a brilliant idea don’t you think? You can contact HART via their website or email them at hornbyhart@gmail.com for more info about how they’re doing it.
Here’s fun:
I know it says it’s 27 minutes long but it’s actually only 17 minutes and Vegan Kids TV, made by the people who brought us the Vegan Kids’ Magazine, is well worth a quarter of an hour of your day. There’s an animal quiz, a trip to visit Joy the sheep and family, and we meet lots of vegan kids from all over the world who tell us who their favourite animals are 😀
Sing to the tune of Old MacDonald 🙂
Old McSpreader had a farm,
Pee-u pee-u poo.
And on that farm he dished out muck,
Pee-u pee-u poo.
With a cow-pat here and a pig poo there,
Here a plop, there a plop,
Everywhere a ton of plops,
Old McSpreader had a farm,
Pee-u pee-u poo.
“Oh,” my ma says, “Oh, no no!”
“No no no no no!”
She says of washing on the line,
“It will smell of poo!”
She grabs a stinky towel here and a stinky sheet there,
Here a shirt, there a dress,
All of it a stinky mess.
“Oh!” my ma says, “oh, no no!”
“It all smells of poo!”
Old Green Grower spreads no muck,
No sal-mon-ell-a.
For her crops manure is green,
No e-coli either.
With clover here and mustard there,
Here some vetch, there some hemp,
Everywhere a lovely scent.
Old Green Grower spreads no muck,
Her fields are filled with joy 😀
*************
Green manure – so much better for us and the world than sewage, blood and bone from factory farms. Well duh!

Before you turn up the thermostat – put on another jumper, and a hat and scarf 😀 It’s amazing how your own body can generate heat, all you’ve got to do is stop that heat escaping 😀
My flesh to you is unnecessary,
And my milk’s unnecessary for you,
So if none of these is necessary
Then my suffering’s unnecessary too.
