There are some sights that are so unexpected that it stays with you for life. Last year, I was in the midst of Seville’s Semana Santa and saw hundreds of years of traditions re-enacted in the 21st century. Semana Santa or Holy Week is a week long celebration leading to lent. This year Semana Santa… Continue reading Meatless Monday #4 Potato and Leek Soup and Spain’s Semana Santa

Vegetarian travel – Berlin Part 1 – flat white, beer and hot dog
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a city with an active Four Square community will likely be be an absolute godsend for spotting vegetarian restaurants. This is in fact true for Berlin, city of bratwurst, hipsters and surprisingly plentiful vegetarian options.
Burgers in the Concrete City – NY part 1 of many
Time is a ticking and there are still so many more photos to upload from New York. New York in summer is rather glorious, despite the scalding bitumen.

Straddling 2008 and 2009
With 2008 ticking away slowly I’m finding it difficult to summarise the past 12 months. In a lot of ways it felt as if I have managed to pack two years into one with moving over to the UK and everything that involved. Strangely enough coming back home made the entire thing feel more than… Continue reading Straddling 2008 and 2009
Post Christmas
The rather unfortunate result of flying in the wrong direction on Christmas Eve meant that I sort of spent Christmas on the plane. Sort of as in reality it was a non day which I guess meant it was a non Christmas as well. On the other hand the plethora of left over Christmas decoration… Continue reading Post Christmas
