April Showers Bring May Flowers…
Surrounded by a sea of golden-yellow rape and basked in rays of sunlight soaring across an azure blue sky. The setting on this particular May weekend (12-13th) was simply picturesque as we made our way across the fields of our hometown.
As a matter of fact, you’d find it hard to believe that just three days prior to this, the skies were completely masked in grey cloud, with winds piercing through us at tremendous speeds.
A Lengthy Explanation…
Sometimes, life can bring you to breaking point. You feel as though everything has turned pear-shaped and you’re not quite sure what you’re doing or we’re your heading…
A little over a year ago, everything had its place. There was a plan, a passion, a fret, a prospect, a smile-setter, a tear-jerker. Whereas, throughout 2011, these once vivid emotions had congealed into a mass of uncertainty, vacancy and disconcertion…
Lest We Forget…
This post could potentially be a little controversial, but nonetheless, I feel the need to publish it…
This was something I wrote last year, but never got round to publishing and has been sitting in my ‘drafts’ folder ever since (like quite a lot of posts actually). To be honest, I was a little nervous about the response it may get, but now that some of the major animal charities have brought light on this matter, it gives me every reason to reinforce the point!
Oh the weather outside is frightful…
I’d like to blame alien abduction, but the truth is unfortunately far less exciting. Bearing that in mind, I have no intentions of boring you with the rather sudden buildup of my day-to-day schedule. On another note…
Merry Christmas!
I almost thought Vegan Kid was going to miss out on the holiday season, but I just couldn’t bear the thought of all my regular and not-so-regular visitors being graced with a rather suspect pumpkin during this month of lights, cheer and indulgence….
On All Hallow’s Eve..
With no more bright summer evenings to look forward to and far fewer outdoor activities to be had, I can’t help but return to the inner sanctum that is my kitchen and arm myself once again with my trusted wooden spoon! I hope you have all had an unforgettable Summer, as I know I certainly have.
It seems somewhat of a contradiction in terms to be wishing someone a ‘Happy Halloween’….
Nevertheless, I’m going to go ahead and wish it!
During my hiatus, life seems to have spun wildly, hurling me into all sorts of different experiences, leaving me feeling a little deflated and unmotivated but I just wanted to thank you for not deserting me completely!
Hopefully, you may have noticed that ‘Vegan Kid’ has now made it’s way onto Facebook and Twitter. I want to thank those who have already joined and encourage those who haven’t to do so! These pages will consist of smaller but more regular updates and images. You’ll be kept up to date with whats happening, so it’s worth joining!
Anyway, with the onset of winter, recipes will pick up! I am afraid to say, however, I have learnt not to promise recipes, as sometimes the outcome of certain experiments aren’t anything like I would have hoped and therefore rendering the recipe unfit for publication until I can play around a bit more…
Apart from that, I can say I have been juggling so many ideas recently, so at one point or another, there is likely to be a mass influx of recipes which won’t necessarily have any seasonal relevance or follow in any particular order but nobody minds that, right?
Happy Halloween!
No excuses…
Of late, I have become undeniably rubbish at blogging…
I’d like to say I had an excuse – or even a reason – for just abandoning you, but I’m ashamed to say that I have just been damn lazy. Hopefully, however, having given myself a kick up the backside, I should get this blog rolling again!
Hooray!
All I can say, is please don’t be surprised if I randomly disappear for another few months. Those who know me would agree when I tell you that I am terribly inconsistent with the majority of my projects (that isn’t to say Vegan Kid isn’t important to me – because it is! Vegans rock, and I endeavour to prove that).
I’m sure we all go through those phases of apathy and idleness and as a result, it has seen me living on tinned soups and ready meals for the past couple of months.
