Beside the Sea in Southwold We have stayed at The Crown Hotel in Southwold a couple of times before, but this was our first visit as vegans and our first visit for more than one night. We based our trip around a birthday gift I got for Bear to ‘Make your Own Gin’ with local …
The Official Norwich Vegans Summer Fayre 2019
Bear and I visited our first ever vegan fayre last weekend- the Official Norwich Vegans Summer Fayre 2019 at The Forum. Spoiler alert- we absolutely loved it! I wish we could go to a vegan fayre every week. More than fifty stalls, each one full of tempting products, food and treats. From amazing vegan bakers, …
An Introduction: Vegan Alcohol
I have been a vegan for nine months and ever since I have been learning and trying lots of different foods and products. I have also started to rethink my beauty products and make up choices – where possible switching to vegan and ethical brands. And… slowly over the last few months, I have been …
Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa
I discovered Bedford Lodge Hotel and Spa about 18 months ago, and I have already racked up five spa breaks… I just wanted to share this beautiful place with all of my nearest and dearest (so long as I was invited along for the ride!). Last weekend, my lovely friend and I were there, pushing …

I relish any opportunity to get all of my favourite books out and plan a meal, whether I get around …
An Introduction: Vegan Beauty
Every now and then we all need a little beauty overhaul, and lately I have been learning about vegan and cruelty free beauty products. Many people are making the switch to kinder beauty brands that offer an eco-friendly and green alternative to some of the less mindful brands, that have previously dominated the beauty industry …
The Ivy. Restaurant Review
The Ivy arrived in Norwich last year and I have visited three times now. Each of those times for a special occasion. As I have said before, we are absolutely spoilt for choice when it comes to dining out in Norwich, but if you are looking to celebrate or go out for a special occasion- …
Lunch-Time !
Raise your hand if you bring a lunch to work!? Bringing healthy, varied and easy-to-eat lunches to work every day can be a real challenge. I do have the facilities at work to warm food up in microwaves and I do make use of this fairly often, particularly in the colder months. But let’s focus …
Sleep is your super power!
Recently I watched a TED talk on the importance, actually- the absolute necessity of sleep and it has really stuck with me. Sleep is one of the best things you can do for your body but it doesn’t seem to be on the top of a lot of people’s priorities. I touched on the importance …
