Half-Price Vegan Holidays Helping Animals in Devon

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.

Hunting For Vegan Food In Genoa

I’m in Genoa and I want to know if it is weird referring to it as Genoa on my blog and not the Italian Genova?

I am such an uneducated fool. For most of my life I thought Genoa and Genova were two different places. The anglicised name for this Italian city was obviously the one I’m most familiar with so perhaps I should just stick with it for clarity.

My husband is feeling a bit under the weather so we are taking it easy with a few gentle strolls around the port and historic centre, but of course day one had me looking for vegan snacks.

This morning we popped into the Eataly cafe opposite the port and I was surprised to find fresh vegan croissants, including fruit jam filled varieties. The cafe also had pre-packaged vegan biscotti.


These croissants were delicious but they were just stop one for the day.

Those trips were always a highlight, a way to feel connected, and an opportunity to share what’s going on beyond London on this blog.

But things have changed.

I recently took a trip to the stunning island of Gran Canaria, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint.
