Please Consider The Green Party

by

The Green Party of England and Wales has been a powerful force for years but since Zack Polanski was elected leader in a landslide, the energy has shifted up a few gears.

This isn’t the usual political noise we’ve all grown weary of. It’s a clear, hopeful message that cuts through the mess of greed and despair that has dominated our politics for far too long.

And I’m hopeful that many of you you will will consider voting Green at the next opportunity.

Vegan Supper Clubs in Godalming

by

Back in the early years of my veganism, supper clubs were all the rage.

There weren’t a lot of plant-based options in mainstream restaurants and vegan restaurants were thin on the ground, so enterprising food creators took it upon themselves to cook for hungry, kind people in their own homes.

It might sound a little strange to newbie vegans but we were all really up in each other’s houses eating multi-course meals. It was our way of enjoying adventurous cuisine while we waited for the rest of the world to catch up.

If you missed out on this sub-sultural phenomenom, there is great news.

Jhenn of RONIN Dining is still welcoming people into her home for exquisite, handcrafted meals that are simply unforgettable.

A Personal Update

by

Not everything on this blog is about vegan food.

I’ve been writing on this platform for 15 years. When you write with passion, belief, and honesty for that amount of time, elements of your personal story make their way into the space no matter if you intend for it to happen or not.

Over the years as FGV, I’ve shared my concerns for the future of the planet, my journeys and relationships, and my physical and mental health struggles. I’ve enjoyed sharing personal insights with my readers and I feel it is this openness that has kept so many of you connected and coming back for a decade and a half.

In the spirit of (over)sharing, I want to take a slight detour from business as usual today to share with you a personal story that means a lot to me.

Episode 63 of the podcast out now

by

Tuesday is podcast day!

In the latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and I chat about how class war is very real in 2025. Politicians and media want us to blame our crappy lives on Trans people, migrants, and refugees when really the problem is capitalism and wealth hoarding.

As usual it’s a laugh a minute!

Half-Price Vegan Holidays Helping Animals in Devon

by

How does a vegan holiday by the sea sound to you? What if I told you that you could enjoy it at half the usual price while also giving your time to care for rescued animals?

The Miggi, a vegan guesthouse just 100 metres from the sandy Devon coast, has come up with a beautiful way to support their local animal sanctuary, Hakuna Matata Animal Trust. This small charity is home to pigs, sheep, rabbits, gerbils and cats, and like many sanctuaries, it is in desperate need of extra pairs of hands.
