Santorini Musings

To my many fans: I know, I know. It’s been a long time, and I should not have left you (at least without a dope beat to step to). So I’m going to make it up to you by sharing my latest adventure in Santorini. (That’s in Greece, and yes I do feel that I have to point this out because I recently spent 45 minutes trying to explain to a living example of the need for social Darwinism that no, Syria is not in Greece. It is a separate country, and yes, I’m really, really sure.)

Reflections from 30,000 ft

I was discussing my blog with a friend the other day and I realised I hadn’t updated it in what must be months. I always intend to, and then life gets the better of me. However, last night over a wonderful dinner in the heart of Rome, I learned that a business partner kept his blog up to date even during his honeymoon and so I felt a bit challenged to get back to cyberspace. As it’s been a while, I have a few themes to tackle before I try (and I really will try) to get back to cataloguing my travel experiences.

Veggie Tales

It is a reasonably beautiful day today here in the jolly old, and as I was walking to the grocery store this morning I realised that I’m fast approaching my 2 month anniversary of going vegan. Before I continue, I want to apologise to my readers - I know I said I wasn’t going to make an issue of this lifestyle change.


And I’m trying really hard not to - I just am flummoxed by how much people care about what I eat. Why on earth does it matter?! I could see people caring/being concerned if had decided to adopt a diet of, say, Old English and Pop Rocks. But I’m eating healthy! I’m taking vitamins! I’m exercising! I’m just not eating animal products! *this is me pulling out my hair*
