Vegan Yule and Frugal Christmas are [...]
a youtube mix
Little bits that weve been watching/seeing/thinking about/liking. First a 9 second clip of Mikhail Baryshnikov’s 11 turn pirouette from White Nights: Ellen Degeneres on being vegan: Then this clip from the Magic Sword reminds me of walking in our woods here, all wild and magical.

Seems to have less of a garlic hit when very young though still very good. Swans are still following us around – whooping ones fly over the garden and woods regularly just [...]

frogs and barre
It’s all very magical down there in the pond – just been out listening to them tonight by the light of the moon Below should be a short video of them – turn up your volume to hear their frenzied ribbuting! Apologies for the poor picture quality – they are more shy than they appear [...]
