If you had told me when I started this blog way back in 2010 that I would still be churning out posts most days in 2026, I really wouldn’t have believed you.
It has been a wild journey being the sole force behind an online publication such as this.
And as the online world continues to morph, shift, and change, I’m struggling to understand how relevant a blog is in this current digital landscape of highly-responsive algorithms and artificial intelligence. Does writing about new vegan restaurants, upcoming events, and my personal take on a wide range of topics on this platform still matter?
Or is it time for it all to come to a dignified end?
London is incredibly expensive and nothing makes this clearer than the rental market.
In this episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and I discuss the rental crisis impacting working class people in the UK capital. It has gotten to the point where people are renting out caravans in their back gardens.
We also chat about the record breaking achievements of pop stars Madonna and Kylie Minogue, the recent partial eclipse seen around the UK, and other mysteries of the universe!

National Racehorse Week is coming to the UK from 22nd to 31st August, 2026 and it is the perfect reminder why we should be questioning the entire premise of horse racing.
Presented as an opportunity to celebrate these magnificent animals and showcase the world of racing, it is really another glossy PR exercise designed to keep alive the myth that forcing horses to race is noble, thrilling, and somehow good for the animals involved.
It isn’t.
Horse racing is cruel, unnecessary, and built around exploiting vulnerable, sentient animals for human entertainment and profit.
I never get tired of raving about Black Cat in Hackney.
I don’t have anything super thrilling to report today but I wanted to take the opportunity to remind you all to visit this iconic family-owned business and to do it regularly because they are often adding new menu items.
I can’t quite believe this podcast has been rolling along for more than to years now!
Thanks you to everyone who has taken time over these past years to listen to me and Josh complain a lot. We really do enjoy sharing our thoughts and having a few handful of people join us each week is a nice feeling.
This week we chat about Kemi Badenoch and the UK Conservative party, the controversies surrounding gossip blogger Perez Hilton, and the death of music producer William Orbit.

Black Cat in Hackney is the stuff of legend. It is a beloved community-focussed vegan eatery that has been welcoming diners for longer than I can remember.
It is one of my favourite spots in London.
And now the beloved vegan eatery is opening its doors to people looking for somewhere to host their own events, celebrations, and gatherings. Great news!
There are some events that feel like a job and there are some events that feel like a privilege. Queer Vegan Disco definitely falls into the second category for me.
I am absolutely thrilled to be bringing it back for one night only in London in North London.
