Random ramblings from the Vegan Family House – recipes, photos, thoughts on life, food, education… no set parameters here!

The older archives are taken from our previous home ed diary starting in June 2005 and they gradually evolve into the present day blog.

 Below are random photos spanning the time of the blog – you can click them to go directly to the posts from whence they came!!

    I find your blog quite interesting. Love the recipes. Must say, I dream of a life as calm and surrounded by nature as you and your family have. Where in Scotland do you live? Blessings!

    We are lucky to be in the woods here in Aberdeenshire.

    I too crave a life like yours. I recently moved to university in a big city and although I enjoy the course and have lovely friends, I miss being out in the countryside….

    We always wanted to live right out in the country – it is wonderful :)

    Well, fit like and foo’s it gaun wi ye? Given we are living in central Italian countryside it is difficult (practically impossible – esp with 2 kids in state school) to be vegan but we try to be ‘dairy reducers’ . I was looking for some decent vegan recipes for nut roast and gin ah wis fair taken aback tae fin a site fae back hame living the dream (don’t puncture, please). Just wanted to say thank you and hello.

    What a wonderful blog you have. My only complaint is that I live on the other side of the pond and we don’t get all the lovely chocolates you talk about. : )

    I lived in Aberdeen for a short time after University. Sometimes I wish I still lived in Scotland – but alas, if I didn’t leave I wouldn’t have gotten together with my husband and, well, the rest is history.

    That’s how it goes isn’t it? The people we love are more important than any geographical location anyway :D or anything really…

    Hi Lucy

    In Googling my name I came across your blog and I wanted to thank you for mentioning my novel, The Double Happiness Company, and for including a link. With all my heart, I hope you enjoyed the book. I certainly enjoy your blog!!!
    Blessings, Anne

    I loved your book Anne, much recognised from my own life there and wonderful characterisations too. Thank you for writing it!

    Hi – just wanted to thank you all for creating this fantastic resource. We are a vegan family with two kids aged 4 and 6 living in Wiltshire and don’t know any other vegans so it’s great to have the benefits of all your knowledge at our fingertips. Love all the kids stuff too – you are such a cretive lot. Do you happen to know of any vegan family groups online – would love to link up and chat with others living similar lifestyles.

  12. Lucy says:

    Hi Isla, glad you find the site useful. I’m afraid I’m a bit out of touch with things for younger children now, did used to run such a group but it is no more. There is (or was) the vegan families list from the vegan society – you can contact them at http://www.vegansociety.com
