Almost two months now

This will be a brief one as I am swamped with work.  It has been almost two months now and I don't regret my decision for one second.  I feel healthy, my skin is good, as is my hair and my nails seem to be whiter and stronger than they have been for a long time.

The only frustration is when I am not prepared.  If I get hungry and don't have a vegan snack to hand it can get pretty annoying.  Thankfully London is stuffed full of vegan eateries just waiting for me to try them and I have also looked ahead and planned where I am going to eat on a trip to York.  I even have options (plural)!

London vegan fair

I wrote this on 25 August, I just didn't have broadband to upload it before.

Today was the vegan fair in London. I rocked up first at half ten and bought cupcakes and ordered my ice cream to collect later. My friend and I weren't hungry then, so we decided to go to the Shakespeare exhibition at the BM and come back later for lunch. When we did return, at one, the hall was thronging with people. We bought rainforest boxes full of amazing salads and sat in the square and ate them. We then split a Ms Cupcake Ferrero Roche cupcake and it was amazing. Later on I got to meet new vegan friend Sally who I'd been speaking to online for three weeks since being virtually introduced by a mutual friend.

What was very noticeable at the fair was that there is no typical vegan. As much as my friend and I joked we could play a drinking game based on tie dye and dreds, there were people from all different backgrounds. Sally pointed out the middle aged 'National Trust' contingent and there were lots of healthy children running around. Who'd have thought there were so many vegans in London?
