Guess what I stumbled across on a recent day trip to Brighton?
Only the second location of one of the most delicious vegan sweet shops in the country. That’s right. The Fudge Patch has opened up shop on the south coast.

Episode 49 – Podcast Updated Today
We are coming up to a full year of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast and I can’t believe it.
A year! In a few weeks we will be releasing episode 52 of the weekly show. It has gone so quickly.
Josh and I started it for a laugh, as a way to catch up, and simply out of interest. It is not professional and we don’t have big plans for it. We just want to chat and if anyone finds comfort or entertainment in it, that’s great.
In the latest episode we chat about chaos on the Eurostar, eating vegan food in Disneyland, and the experience of seeing Pulp in concert in 2025.

Tempeh Deserves More Love
I had the immense pleasure of visiting Purezza in Brighton yesterday as an invited guest and while it’s no surprise they’re serving up phenomenal vegan food, I was particularly overjoyed by one special item on their menu.
Reader, they’ve gone and done something wonderful. They’ve put tempeh on a pizza.

Australia Is Calling
I was born and raised in Australia and, even though I’ve spent a good chunk of my adult life living in the UK, the idea of going back to my original country has been drifting into my thoughts more frequently.
Maybe it’s the passing of time. Maybe it’s the feeling of getting older and realising that I want to be closer to people I love. Maybe it’s just time.

Is This The Area With The Most Vegan Restaurants In The UK
We are definitely seeing more and more vegan businesses popping up, even if I do write the occasional moaning post abut all the places we have lost.
The trend is definitely more plant-based, more often, and in more places.
And while vegan restaurants are appearing all over the UK, there is one (roughly) square mile of London that appears to be the actual vegan capital of the country.

Still Blogging After All These Years (and Sweets)
There are moments when I sit down to write this blog and genuinely wonder how I’ve managed to keep it going for fifteen years.
Fifteen years. That’s longer than most houseplants survive.
But why do I keep doing it?

Land & Monkeys Is a Dream Come True in Paris
I still remember the days when eating vegan in Paris meant cobbling together a picnic from a health food shop.
Those times were fine, and we did what we had to do, but what a different city it is now. And right at the top of the “what a time to be alive” list is Land & Monkeys.

Vegan at Disneyland Paris: Not Just Chips (Anymore)
I recently found myself back inside Disneyland Paris for the first time in more than twenty years.
Yes, two full decades have passed since I last roamed those pastel-paved walkways and heard It’s a Small World on an endless loop. And let me tell you, while the park has changed in a lot of ways, one thing has definitely improved: vegan food.

Episode 48 – Podcast updated today
Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) is the podcast in which Josh and I talk about music, memories, politics, ageing, friendship, addiction, and pretty much anything else.
There is no structure, no research, and no professionalism. Just a conversation between two middle-aged gay veagns.
Episode 48 is out now across a few different platforms.

Should We Buy Vegan Products From Unethical Companies
Here’s a question that keeps bouncing around my mind and refuses to let up.
Can we ever truly feel at peace buying vegan products from companies whose wider business practices feel completely at odds with the compassionate ethos we are trying to live by?
