West Lancashire Vegan Fair

Yesterday I got the train with a group of folk from Manchester Vegan Society over to Lancaster to the West Lancashire Vegan Fayre. It was a really successful event and the Friends Meeting House where it was held was totally rammed so much so that I didn't even manage to get round the room with the free food samples and the cafe selling vegan fish n chips! I did go to a really interesting talk about vegan organic farming by Jenny Griggs of Fir Tree Community Growers, a care farm who produce organic veg boxes where lots of the volunteers are disabled people. I treated myself to a few things from the stalls I did get to - Kale chips with sunflower and tahini, lovely handmade soap and bath bombs packed with aromatherapy oils from Brackencraft, Black Cherry Hurraw lip balm and a totally amazing Reese's Peanut Butter cupcake from Vicki's Vegan Bakery.


Today I'm taking it easy catching up on a bit of stuff on iPlayer and doing some drawing. To set me up for the day lunch was a cup of cinammon coffee and a sausage butty. I bought some of these Sainsbury's own make sausages the other day which unusually for an own brand are vegan as well as vegetarian. I like them on soft white bread with tomato sauce, dijon mustard, chutney, cherry plum tomatoes and rocket. How do you make yours?

  3. The fair sounded great, I'm glad you got there. Vegan fish eh? Sounds interesting! And I didn't know about the sausages either, I'll get some soon, ours tend to be Linda McCartneys' as they're my favourite, with tomato sauce or garlic mayo on white bread. I sometimes go wild and add lettuce but the excitement can be a bit much. Hahaha, have a good cake do chuck :) xx

  4. Thanks for the sausages tip- I'm not a vegan but am trying to cut down on the amount of meat I eat. So I'll try those!
    I'm already dairy and egg free due to allergies. Love reading your blog esp as you're a fellow Mancunian! Keep up the good work x
