Vegan meals on the move

It can be hard to be a vegan on the road – you’re generally better off taking your food with you, or having ingredients with you that can be prepared easily en route.  If you’re going on a long car journey, it’s important to have some snacks ready, especially if you have children with you. [...]

Eating in Scotland

For a country so rich in fresh produce it is rather sad that Scotland is best known to those south of the border for its humble haggis and its coronary-inducing deep fried Mars bar. I have nothing against the haggis, although I don’t like it personally.  Incidentally, according to those who do find it to [...]

California is the most populous state in the USA, and home to eight of the country’s 50 most populous cities – Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach and Oakland.

Balkan the wrap up and a bit of Sarandë

Ok, this really did take a while. I have a good reason of course. Sarandë was my final stop in Albania and I didn’t fancy it. Not at all actually. I arrived reasonably early in the morning and decided to have a look around. I wasn’t impressed. The town is highly developed with loads of [...]
