Evening in London

As London is only a short train journey away me and my fiance have many days in London, trying to track down all the weird and wonderful.

 In this blog im writing about the most recent visit brought around by my wonderful Brother who got me and my fiance tickets to see a show in London, Showstopper at the Lyric.

 We got the train to Charing Cross and decided to take a 15 minute walk along to Rupert Street where the amazing Vegan Hippo is located.

The Vegan Hippo is easy to spot with its bright orange shop front and sign board with a Hippo on. The staff are really friendly and service is quick. What made us really happy is that they have a sign up saying that they don't except the new £5 notes, and this is because they contain tallow derived from animal fat.

 We decided to try out their vegan hot dog with tomato ketchup and mustard, with vegan cheese added for an extra 50p. They tasted amazing, which is strange for me as i never liked hot dogs before i went vegan but these really did taste good and we would recommend them to anyone, and at the bargain price of £3.50 not bad for a hot snack.



We also had a Raspberry and Rose yogurt made by Sojade, which was very creamy and full of flavour.



We then ventured around the corner to Wardour Street where Yorica Moments is located. we decided to treat ourselves to an ice cream each a a milkshake to share. The shop was busy which is always nice to see. The staff were friendly and helpful as always


I went for a scoop of Ginger and a scoop of Passion Fruit with some free sprinkles on top. My fiance went for a scoop of Ginger and a scoop of Cookie and cream.
The ice cream was so smooth and full of flavour, it was like we had died and gone to Yorica heaven :)
Glad we don't live around the corner as we would be in here every day.







I would highly recommend visiting Yorica if you are in the area, but make sure you leave some for my next visit :)

 These two vegan eateries are very handy for anyone wanting to see a show in London too as they aren't that far away from some of the theatres and also Leicester Square.




Hope you enjoyed the read and that you try and pay both venues a visit when in the area.
Peace and Love VB80

First Blog about myself and what i love to do most.

Wow i cant believe I'm doing this its all very new to me so you will have to bear with me for a short while. Well first of all I'm Vegan and have been for the past 2 years now. I love animals so why would i want to harm them in any way. I was introduced to the Vegan lifestyle by my amazing Fiance. Its been hard at times as there are also lots of foods I'm not aloud due to my Menieres Disease, but i think we've got there now. Secondly we love to travel all over the U.K, the past year we have been to some amazing places, and yes even found some vegan places to eat too :)  We tend to stay in hostels as our budget isn't that big but staying in hostels makes the trips all the more exciting, and we have met some amazing people along the way. That's all for now, i hope you enjoy my posts and enjoy the journey with me. Peace and Love VB80

Mental Health It's time to talk

So many people have issues with mental health, but it surprises me that it is 1 in 4 people. Many years ago mental health was a stigma, we are now in the 21st century and its time for people to speak freely about Mental health There are many reasons for feeling like you can't cope anymore or feeling like whats the point, but finding ways to live with mental health is always the best option. It makes me sad that many people don't get the help they need and take matters into their own hands. There are so many organisations out there but people just aren't aware of them and the help that they can give. I have suffered for many years with mental health problems for many years now, it got really bad for me when my mum died and I didn't know who to turn to. All my family were grieving and I felt like I had to be strong for everyone. It was 8 years later that I realized that I needed to get help. I visited my doctor who was very understanding and gave me some medication t...

Weekend trip to Edinburgh

We had a rare weekend when we didnt have anything planned so we decided to take a trip to Edinburgh. I have been here before but many years ago, my fiance had never been there before so we booked a hostel in the old town and return tickets with Megabus. We arrive really early in the morning having decided to travel over night. The sun was shining and there was very few people around. We took a stroll to see what was around and saw that there was a museum which was free, but being so early it wasnt open so we would have to return later in the day. We managed to track down a couple of health shops that had vegan food, this was very much needed as we were starving. We located our hostel which was in a lovely area in the Old Town. After a short break we decided to go back to the museum to see what they had to offer, and i for one wasn't disappointed didn't take that many pictures as i was too busy enjoying our visit. There was so much to see and do there and i would de...
