I started a veg*n food blog about a year ago... it seems to have kept itself going so far, and I seem to write a lot more on there than on here. I eat every day, so I guess that makes sense. It's primarily my recipe repository, with stories. If anyone is interested it is here: Leave a comment  1

The cemetery opposite the top of our street is amazing. I have been spending a significant portion of my days there since coming back from the US and not working. It's huge, and the bit nearest our house is quite wild. Therefore full of little patches of brambles. So I am roaming around from patch to patch, collecting berries. They're really ( Read more... )
