Intro

Hi all, just a quick intro to say about what I'm planning on writing about on here.

About me - I'm 32, I live in Mossley (near Manchester, England)  I've been vegetarian since I was 18. I've just begun being fully vegan (today is day 9).

I've tried this before, around 5 years ago I think, and failed. At the time it just seemed too difficult, the main problem was the lack of quick/easy to make options. There's been a huge amount of new vegan products introduced in the last year, particularly meat replacements, vegan pizzas and ready meals, and this has been the motivation for me and my other half Sarah to give this a real go - we really think we can keep this up this time round.

So I've decided to blog about the vegan options we buy, the meals we have and some recipes for what I've made, it'll hopefully be interesting for people who might be looking to make the step towards going vegan and generally for people curious about what a vegan can have. As well as main meals I'll be going into our snack choices, the dairy replacements we try, the difficulties of trying to find out which beers and wines are ok to have and other similar things.

I'd love to read any questions / discussion about these posts by the way, so feel free to comment at any point. 😊
