I like to eat a LOT of veg and greens, which seem to have lacked in my post. I can only put this down to the fact that it’s quite an unusual week as I’m living at my boyfriend’s parent’s house for two weeks before we leave for travelling. This means I am being cooked for/eating out a lot more than normal! Coming from Brighton originally we are totally spoilt for choice, but this week has really shown me you really can be vegan anywhere.
