I have been on holiday to Leuven in Belgium! I chose to visit Leuven because I discovered that they have a Loving Hut. After arriving I was ecstatic to find that they also have Vegaverso a vegan cafe, Greenway a vegetarian cafe, and Shavt which is a vegan food shop!
Here I am at Vegaverso, vegan cafe in Leuven, Belgium!
This is a wonderful cafe which serves a delicious and tasty selection of vegan sandwiches and cakes!
It took me a while to decide what to have, there is so much to choose from!
I had a peanut butter and jelly cupcake, a vanilla cupcake and a chocolate cupcake, on different visits! They were all delicious and beautiful!
I also tried a chocolate coconut macaroon, and an oat cake, which were fantastic!
This is what I had on my first visit to Vegaverso! It was the most scrumptious food you will ever taste! I had vegan cheese with vegenaise and a blueberry cupcake! It was wonderful!
The menus there all have different, individually embroidered fabric covers! They are so special and lovely 😀
If you live anywhere nearby, and even if you don’t, I strongly recommend you make a visit to Vegaverso.
They are open Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 6pm. You could go now!
I had a wonderful time at this cafe, it is run by friendly people and has a relaxing, happy atmosphere. Brilliant 🙂 Try the chocolate coconut macaroon.
Yesterday we took a train ride to the seaside!
Flying high above the houses! 😀
And here we are in Brighton Station. Please mind the gap between the train and the platform. 😀
It’s time you met the beautiful birds of Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare! Raystede rescues and re-homes chickens. They have a lovely big garden to live in filled with places to play and have fun or rest and relax. As well as chickens they have two magnificent turkeys who inspire awe wherever they go.
Maybe you could take a picture of me looking to the right? I think my left side is my better side. What do you think? Don’t I have beautiful eyes?
We thought we’d keep a record of where we’d left a calling card.
See if you can spot the cards and work out where we went last Monday – and since this is the first go at this game, we’ve made it easy 😉
The pictures are numbered 1 to 6. By which picture did you first know where we were and what we were doing? And in which pictures did you spot our cards? 😀
Well, Miranda has always been here, she has always been an indispensable part of the Violet’s Veg*n e-Comics team but since she’s now set up a separate username we thought we’d better introduce her properly so that it won’t confuse anyone when they see a different gravatar coming from VVeC. Violet’s Vegan Comics would be nothing without her, no one would know it existed, so it’s time she got the recognition she deserves 🙂
Please say hello to our Miranda Lemon!
Vegan Nursery Rhymes is now available on Kindle!
Six popular nursery rhymes have been veganised, colourfully illustrated and made into a tiny little kindle book.
So cute 🙂
Why don’t you pop over to Amazon and take a look?
Please please please let me take my ease,
Let me ride on your back for a while.
My legs are short and not as strong as yours,
I’ve been walking for more than a mile.
I’ll just climb on and I won’t take long
Try to stand still here for a minute.
I really appreciate you helping me out
And I promise not to fidget.
Thank you thank you thank you Mum
This ride is good and comfy.
I can see from your reflection though,
That you enjoy it as much as me!
What they will tell you:
What they probably won’t tell you is that he was a:
What an awesome man 🙂
WHAT THEY WILL TELL YOU:
WHAT THEY PROBABLY WON’T TELL YOU IS THAT HE WAS WIDELY REPUTED TO BE:
We know this because Giuliano di Lorenzo de’ Medici (Leonardo’s patron for three years, from 1513 to 1516) financed the explorer Andrea Corsali’s voyage on a Portuguese ship and in a long letter to his patron Corsali made a remark about Leonardo when describing followers of Hinduism:
Alcuni gentili chiamati Guzzarati non si cibano dicosa alcuna che tenga sangue, ne fra essi loro consen tono che si noccia adalcuna cosa animata, come it nostro Leonardo da Vinci.
English translation:
Certain infidels called Guzzarati are so gentle that they do not feed on anything which has blood, nor will they allow anyone to hurt any living thing, like our Leonardo da Vinci.
What a guy! 😉
They’ll tell you a lot of stuff about Pythagoras at school, like:
But they probably won’t tell you that:
And “Pythagorean diet” was a common name for the abstention from eating meat and fish, until the coining of “vegetarian” in the 19th century.
Stick that in your triangle and measure it!! 🙂
WHAT THEY WILL TELL YOU:
He worked on many other influential theories and projects including: the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, Brownian motion, an explanation for capillary action and much more.
What they don’t often tell you is that towards the end of his life:
I was just browsing other people’s blogs when I came across this post, titled ‘Napping on a shoulder under a collar’ on Rethinking Life. It reminded me of the little house marten that my daughter rescued ten years ago because this bird also used to take a nap on her shoulder under her collar. He/she was a pretty little thing who touched our lives briefly and then flew away. Here’s a couple of pics of Eve (my daughter) with Minnie (her house marten friend):
