Very interesting idea. "It is almost as if once physical baggage has come over the threshold of the hotel that complex items of personal emotional baggage that add dimension to our identities have been left somewhere in the street outside or even...

Well Done!

Well Done!

I've been vegan 25 years now, I think. It's getting easier, believe me. And people like you who can articulate your ethics clearly without apportioning blame are going to help the cause. Maybe one day people will come round to...

The way you describe the walk

Posted on Sat, 20 Jan 2018

The way you describe the walk with Bristol is the best thing I've read about dogs ever. Also enjoyed how Grandad washed up the special bowl with his elbow

I know it is horrid and stressful when you have to keep adding it up as you go, and putting stuff back, but so long as you have enough money food shopping is such fun? Go vegan, then you won't feel guilty about meat. Shopping in the evening,...
