Let’s Talk About Health

Here is a little snippet of me sharing a bit of my health journey with a group of women in Northampton.

Leila’s Cafe and Shop

What is not to love about Leila’s Cafe and shop?  Reminiscent of times gone by, full of charm and tradition. This little shop and cafe nod somehow ooze optimism and good feeling.  The staff are great and whilst the menu could not be described as extensive, the items in the shop and cafe are chosen [...]

Sharing some Livity Love

Today’s weather is rubbish….grey, wet and totally miserable…but let’s not to get to drawn into that feeling of doom and gloom that this time of year can bring on.  To continue the theme of all things Valentine and cupid let me share with you some Livity love…some things that The Livity is loving right now [...]

A Walk in the Park

From time to time life can get a bit hectic, a bit on top or slightly overwhelming. I have found it good to be able to press pause and take a moment to enjoy some of the simpler things that life has to offer. This single action is often enough to begin to unravel the [...]

Roasted Tomato Sauce

My garden is in need of some serious TLC. I have neglected it whilst traveling and have been somewhat unmotivated to face the elements to go and do what needs to be done to get things ready for the winter. Despite my lack of outdoorsyness my plants have still been thriving and to my surprise [...]

Feeling the love from Ecovegangal

I received a link for a review of Vegan Christmas in my inbox today and was delighted to find this little video from Whitney of ecovegangal.com.  I was touched by her support, enthusiasm for the book and her appreciation of the recipes.  I am feeling the love from the vegan community right now and loving [...]

Trinidad and Tobago

So I have finally landed.  It took us a while, but we are finally here.  It has been years since we have been able to get back to Trinidad to visit family and friends and experience this wonderful Caribbean island.  I am excited to share with you a few of my first glimpses and impressions. [...]

“Oh I do like to be beside the sea side…Oh I do like to be beside the sea”

I am always up for a change of environment and when we made a date to meet up with friends in Brighton no-one was happier than me.  Fresh sea breeze, raw vegan cheese-cake and raw vegan ice cream, a coastal train ride and a good old natter…what more could you ask for?       [...]

The ‘T’ Word

Once upon a time in a city not that far away I developed somewhat of a coffee addiction.  My morning would start with a cafetiere filled with those lovely little beans ground to a intoxicating powder that smelled oh so good and filled the kitchen with an aroma that was and still is very hard [...]

Caudete Lounging

We visit Caudete a few times a year to catch up with family and new friends.  It is the ideal place to veg out, take in the scenery, catch up on some reading and connect with people.  I enjoy the time, the space, the food, the people, the conversations, the laughter and the heat….I hope [...]
