Summer is nearly heeeere. It sure was creepin’ round my doorstep the other morning. I like to think myself a cosmopolitan girl…but home is in the countryside! After whizzing through a 6km set of sprints on the treadmill, I chilled in the sunshine with an old friend. Doesn’t she just look like a bundle of …
Bowl of magic. Only adequate description for this smoothie bowl. Delicious magic, too. Look at that greeness pop!This is my latest concoction in the form of a smoothie in a bowl (not forgetting the decadent toppings!). When I first came across the concept of putting a smoothie in anything other than my usual copious glass … Continue reading Avocado Smoothie Breakfast Bowl
Skirting the edges. Craned necks under a metronome. Rushing for the perfect tram. Grafitti by a road, in a river, through the sky. Jazz on water, attached. Swaying to the beat of long exposure. Marionettes, proud, catching the rays. Gradiation of light as we watch Prague awaken one last time. Continue reading Prague – Grunge in Gold
Dull light, mist and silent coldness. Climbing beyond our hostel and reaching the castle, we caught our first rooftop views of the city of Prague, Czech. Even in the early haze, the streets and pastel buildings left an impression of having suddenly walked onto a film set or toy city. What I found special about … Continue reading Prague – In the City
Vibrant! Raw salsa. So good. I just got back from Prague last night, absolutely exhausted after all the walking and eventful nightly excursions. Currently sifting through the mounds of photos accumulated throughout the trip and I can’t wait to get a collage together! Coming soon. In the meantime, check out this colourful piece. For the … Continue reading Raw Sprouted Salsa
I recently “officially” released my blog the other day, and have been delighted with the feedback so far! It’s great when people say they want more vegan recipes. I’m constantly hearing my mam rant on about how “the best diet is a varied diet” (in an attempt to support her anti-vegan, meat-and-dairy-is-great mantra) and this … Continue reading Variety
Family hikes. My parents were very into these when I was a kid. And at that time I absolutely hated them…all I wanted was for someone to carry me the whole way! Now, that trudge up a mountain seems like the best way to spend a Sunday. Given how awful the weather has been during the … Continue reading Wicklow Way
Trophy breakfast this morning! Overnight oats are just awesome. Topping choices immense. So easy too. Banana serve is probably the staple food of all raw vegans. It's just like ice-cream. Imagine having ice-cream for breakfast or dinner? Freeze your bananas and blitz in a processor until smooth! I added almond butter here. Yummm. The mixture … Continue reading Trophy
This year I had two Christmas celebration days. As my dad works in Angola on an oil rig, he’s only at home for Christmas every second year, meaning that when he isn’t we have to feast before he leaves! Suits me. Many years for Christmas dinner we’ve had a fondue – it seems to be … Continue reading Christmas 2014
I intentionally didn’t include any written entries for my first few posts: the photos tell the stories themselves. Its now also quite obvious that I’m a bit mad about France. I’ve been going to the Dordogne every year since I was 9 and now keep going back to work during the summer, somehow also managing … Continue reading Ice Berry

First blog posts are tricky. I’ve a few firm favourite blogs out there whose new posts I’d always keep in tune with, and a few times I’ve tried to navigate my way back to their very first ones. These are the blogs with a massive number of followers, hundreds of aesthetically pleasing photos, comments from … Continue reading Salut
