As a testament to the ease of finding vegan food in Vilnius, let me start by saying; I was full basically the whole time I was there. Pleasantly so for the most part, but uncomfortably so a couple of times too, because I have limited self control where food is concerned. For Lithuania may not… Continue reading Where to eat vegan in Vilnius

Eating vegan in Prague
At the risk of boring myself by proclaiming that yet another place is ‘really good’ for vegan food, let me tell you; Prague was really good for vegan food. I actually had zero expectations about what it would be like (not in the sense that I was preparing myself for slim pickings, in the sense… Continue reading Eating vegan in Prague
A December weekend in Prague | Travel Diary
Affordable, beautiful and steeped in history, Prague felt like the kind of place whose mention was always met with ‘we went there one Christmas’ or ‘oh, I LOVE Prague’ – the kind of place that everyone has already been. ‘Everyone’, of course, didn’t include me, so it’s been somewhere on my travel wishlist for a… Continue reading A December weekend in Prague | Travel Diary
Eating vegan in Florence
Eating vegan in Italy was fairly easy in general, but if there was one place we went where it was particularly so, that place would have to be Florence. Avoiding meat and dairy here is something you just don’t have to put as much thought into as you might expect, and certainly not as much… Continue reading Eating vegan in Florence
Eating vegan in Venice
Prior to visiting Italy, lots of people asked how I was likely to get on there without eating meat or dairy. It wasn't bad at all though, I have to say; I like eating all the carbs and Italy has all the carbs, so on that basis we got on very well indeed - and… Continue reading Eating vegan in Venice
Here are the contents of my (cruelty free) make up bag for a two week holiday
I must confess: this is more for my own benefit than anyone else’s. Essentially, as the world’s worst packer, I thought it would be a mighty convenient exercise to take my Italy make up selection and dress it up as ‘content’. That way, I would be forced to undertake this small element of packing earlier… Continue reading Here are the contents of my (cruelty free) make up bag for a two week holiday
Five things I want to make time for in the UK this summer
I think we can safely say that summer is officially here in the UK now – as safely as we ever can, in any case, which is probably not very safe at all, but my boobs are currently sunburnt and that’s what I’m basing my confidence in the matter on. In lieu of having any… Continue reading Five things I want to make time for in the UK this summer
Postcards from Keukenhof, Holland
Please tell me that some of you tend to get a little over snap happy when travelling too? I’m utterly ridiculous; when I visit any kind of landscape I have this sort of strange repetitive routine of stopping every two steps and exclaiming ‘This! THIS is the view!’ while taking another 30 photos (much to… Continue reading Postcards from Keukenhof, Holland
A spring trip to Holland | Travel diary
When I said to people that I was going to Holland, most said exactly what I myself would have done; “Where? I’ve only ever been to Amsterdam. I loved it though”. And the capital might be the natural first thought at any mention of The Netherlands (I also loved it), but I was excited to… Continue reading A spring trip to Holland | Travel diary
The things I loved about Haarlem, Holland
There was lots I was looking forward to about my Holland trip, but top of my list, if I'm honest, was tulips. My excitement for flower overload was so enormous that it was verging on deranged, so with that front of mind I'd been somewhat slack with giving the other things we were going to… Continue reading The things I loved about Haarlem, Holland
