I was most intrigued during the week to be offered the above product samples for review on the site. It didn’t seem likely that a major company was producing something so accommodating to vegans and non-dairy drinkers. I googled to make sure it was true… and it was: Tetley for Soya I don’t usually drink [...]

swan lake

By Lucy | Published February 6, 2010

There were swans on the loch yesterday Had a lovely day with friends morphing into a very balletic afternoon which was great fun. It’s been wonderful rediscovering ballet being for enjoyment, rather than an eternal striving (not to mention starving) for perfection. Looked out the old class music etc. I have but it’s all on cassettes – [...]

Christmas without Cruelty Edinburgh 2005

By Lucy | Published November 27, 2005

Drove down to Edinburgh for the Cruelty-Free Christmas Fair yesterday. A really good day. It was held in the Freemasons Hall which was a fascinating and impressive building in itself.

a little birdhouse in my soul

By admin | Published October 24, 2005

Our little birdhouse in a pear tree (painted by Charlotte) that we can see from the sitting room window – you can just detect a coal tit on there. The birds go mad for black sunflower seeds – Daniel filled it up yesterday afternoon and they are just about finished. We bought the birdhouse from [...]
