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 [...]

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?       [...]

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 [...]

An unexpectedly beautiful day

Some days are easier than others.  Some days lend themselves  to being contented with the smaller things that life has to offer, the things that can get overlooked in our schedules of work, family and play.  I was reminded today how the simplest of things can bring joy and we should perhaps take a little [...]

So Salcey So Goodie

Every now and then you need to breath a different type of air.  You need to restock and reboot,  you need to press pause and reset.  I find that getting into nature and doing something as simple as walking through the trees is a great way to do this.  It gives us the space (physical [...]

Newbie in North Norfolk

I had to get out, out of the shire and away. Head to the coast? Something in my bones suggested that a trip to the seaside would be the remedy that I needed, this was just the kind of medicine that I would happily be prescribed – hopefully to be taken at least once a [...]

In the Masala Zone

My husband and I recently had the occassion to find ourselves in London around dinner time.  We were hungry and really didn’t feel the need for anything too lavish or expensive but wanted to find something tasty to eat.  My motto is when in doubt stick to what you know and we have been to [...]
