15 years.
That is how long I have been tapping away at this blog as Fat Gay Vegan. I am now entering my 16th year of championing independent businesses and animal charities and I’m getting closer to having been FGV for two decades… and that feels hugely rewarding.
And sometimes it is exhausting.
Another Tuesday means another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong).
Josh and I join forces this week to chat about the problematic history of America’s Next Top Model, the incredible by-election victory for the Green Party in the UK, and the terrifying onset of conflict in the Middle East.
What a stressful time to be a human!

I absolutely adore being part of the regular supper club series at Unity Diner in London.
Not only do these events raise funds for Surge Sanctuary (I wrote about them yesterday) but they are also a showcase of just how special plant-based dining can be.
If you want to see what all the excitement is about, I’m hosting a Spring-themed dinner at Unity in a few weeks.

How about visiting an animal sanctuary to witness rescued creatures living in peace AND getting to fill up on a vegan BBQ?
All this and more can be yours at Surge Sanctuary during two special open days in 2026.

I want to share a personal decision that I am continuing to stand by, and I know not everyone will agree with me. That is fine.

Hi all.
A new episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast is out today and, as always, it’s a mixed bag of topics.
