Guest guest Report post Posted February 4, 2006 HI All We went to Brighton today, and visited the George veggie pub while there :-) Colin had Korma, rice and pitta, and I had spaghetti bolognese with garlic bread. It was very nice but very large - I couldn't finish mine, even though it was so tasty. Jo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted February 6, 2006 Thanks Nikki We had a takeaway tonight (being lazy). It was an Indian restaurant that will veganise some of their dishes. It was rather tasty, but again too big. I wish they would do smaller servings, and charge less.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 8, 2006 the advice that you guys gave me last year is going well. my tomatoes are doing really well and my strawberries are just wonderful. there is very sad news going on in my life. I am too emotional to talk about it. I have known for a year. but it is finally a reality. there is an old forest. a large forest. where I walk my dog in the mornings. well, they are building a four lane road, with a 35 miles per hour sign and no stop light. There is a sign near my house that says " Phase One of Webber street " I have been upset over this, but the County says it is a done deal. The bulldozers are chopping doing trees today. in a matter of hour. ten tree were cut. me and a vegan friend have taken pictures of endangered birds on this forest and will go to the Nature Conservancy for advice. sorry if I have already talked about this, I can't remember if I am repeting myself, but it is actually happening and it is very sad to see a forest go. just to releave commuters. there have been red foxes feeding on garbage cans at night. I don't mean to depress anyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Hi Anouk I am so sorry to hear this! Perhaps you can send these pictures to support groups who can help as well. And start a letter writing campaign to every elected official. Walk the area for signatures. And then lastly, lay in front of the dozers... Good luck and I hope it gets nipped, tho sadly it sounds like it is already on it's way...
