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

Blackpool over new year

Having only ever passed through Blackpool once im my life we decided to spend our New Year there. We traveled up from London to Blackpool by Coach. We chose National Express for this journey as we knew it was a very long drive and we know that their coaches are very comfortable for long distances. So we caught the 8am coach which got us to Blackpool at 2:30pm. The journey itself was uneventful and there was minimal traffic on the roads so we weren't held up and arrived when stated :) When we arrived the sun was shining but there was a chill breeze, was to be expected as we were at the seaside in December. We decided to hunt down somewhere to get some food and we managed to find a Holland and Barrett, it was well hidden though on a side street. We also located a massive Sainsburys and a Co-Op so we did managed to get some bits and pieces to eat while in Blackpool. Just outside the Co-Op there was an amazing street music and light show going on (they even played my Fia...

Summer Festivals of 2017

For Me the summer isn't complete without a festival or two. Here's what we got up to in 2017 and all the amazing vegan places we found to eat. The first festival of the year and one of my favorites is Glastonbury which was at the end of June. Unlike 2016 with all the mud, Glasto' 2017 was a heatwave. It was so nice to be able to get around without getting stuck and worn out. There is so much to see and do at Glastonbury from bands, poets, acrobats and there is even a kids field filled with lots for them to do. There are also a lot of food stalls around with some offering vegan options, but there are some completely vegan caterers which made life so much easier. These include: Veggies of Nottingham Vegan Pyramid Club Mexicana Happi Maki The Fritter Shack (vegan options) Labonne Crepe (vegan options) No Bones Jones (vegan Options) Pan De Mania Wood Fired Pizza (vegan options) Gandhi's Flip-Flop (vegan Options) Goodness Gracious (vegan opti...

Valentines Break in Brighton

We love Brighton and have visited a few times now. We decided to spend a couple of days here for a Valentines break. We decided to stay at Hostelpoint which is about a minute from the coach station. its a nice hostel beds are comfy and its warm and dry. The view from our dorm was amazing with beautiful sea views. After arriving in Brighton we decided to go for some food and headed for The Hope and Ruin which houses the vegan caterers Beelzebab. We opted for Seitan Meat and Chips with Chilli sauce. OMG it tasted amazing and i would defo recommend trying this meal out for yourselves. The Hope and Ruin was a unique pub with lots of unusual items around the place, like a piano coming down their stairs. Valentines morning we woke up and the sun was shining. we opened our cards and presents at the hostel. Its such a lovely feeling giving and  receiving gifts from the person you plan on spending the rest of you life with. We then took a short walk to an arcade ...
