Easy, delicious, vegan recipes that are a dream to make and eat.

Renovations and Cashew cheese recipe…
Hello from renovation city ! The ‘little house’ is almost ready to camp in – just need to finish the bathroom floor, add shower, toilet, basin, tiles, door and we have a bathroom, my main requirement after a kitchen.

January clean up
Happy, healthy, balanced New Year to you! After all that indulgent, caution to the wind eating and drinking it is time for a seasonal clean up for us. There are so many bugs including the dreaded super flu going around , we need to boost our immunity, sleep better as well as lifting ourselves from […]
Nurture with nature
There is a so much going on at the moment in the world, in the house, in my head. I have spent a week working out heating wattages, where pipes can go on repointed walls, how things will work in the kitchen to leave space for a sofa in front of the fire. How to […]
Dressing up, a little bit naughty and very nice
Christmas can be a stodgy affair…but it doesn’t have to be!

Friday bits and bobs
Just checking in here, it’s been a week of readjustment and joy. Sometimes news knocks us off balance, not because we are not happy about it, just because it means we need to change course a bit, reballance, reappraise, realign. That is a good thing because it actually encompasses way more than the instigating factor, […]
Smash a mash.
Hello, hello! How are you feeling? Have you followed anything here, changed anything? Simply put, nothing will change unless you change something. I know I am repeating myself but please don’t hold back until ‘all the bad stuff has been used up’, ‘after the holiday’, ‘after Christmas’ and all the other delaying tactics our heads […]
Renovations dirty, frustrating, exciting
Do you ever have days when the thing you found so motivating and exciting yesterday is exhausting and overwelming today? Welcome to my world! I have been scared of heights for ever; I couldn’t go up the ladder to the first floor of the ‘little house’, the old tumble down house we are now renovating […]
