These are a few of my favourite things....

Mid-February and all is well with the world.

Since I've moved back to Wiltshire, I'm enjoying my little trips out to random places on a Saturday, finding places I've never been, finding new places to eat etc.  This weekend for instance, we stopped by the The Ramsbury Brewery where we sampled some damson and elderflower liqueur...very nice it was too.  Not the easiest place to find, especially if you can't drive...I know it's near Nigel Havers' house though!

Onwards to Newbury where we stopped off in Bills Restaurant in Newbury, a place I used to eat before I was vegan.  Not a huge choice of meals but enough to keep me from starving!  I went for the avocado on toast with mushrooms instead of poached egg - £7.95.  Avocado on toast is actually one of my favourite things so this fits in nicely with the title of today's ramblings.

After seeing a photo of some ridiculous dessert my Auntie had inhaled in Newbury last week, I've discovered a new cafe' that definitely needs visiting at a later date - Top Treats.  I wasn't really expecting any vegan options at all but they do MILKSHAKES WITH VEGAN ICE-CREAM AND MELTED CHOCOLATE OR OREOS...so exciting that I had to write in capitals.  Thank you Top Treats, that'll do nicely!  Expect photographic evidence at a later date.

I've been trying to find new things to eat in Waitrose, just to keep things exciting you understand.  So in the past week, I've bought Violife cream cheese (delicious), Vivera pumpkin sweet potato burgers (not quite so delicious), pea & broccoli pasta (yet to try) and vegetable gyoza (also yet to try).  Different things keep appearing every week - the world is changing - and I'm happy about this.
