A Brixton first

I’ve been a little silent lately, but with a good excuse, a two week trip home to New Zealand.  As usual, it wasn’t long enough and even though I only arrived back in London 2 days ago, my holiday feels a distant memory.

Anyway, to get over the post holiday blues, Das and I got ourselves out and about yesterday, venturing the short distance to Brixton. Wow things there just keep on changing, it is getting more and more gentrified by the minute.  Our aim though was a specific pub which was hosting Brixton’s first vegan fair. Das was worried about being too early and being the only ones there. However there was no reason to worry about that, it was packed, over packed actually – you could hardly move around the stalls. So sadly we didn’t stay long, nor did we buy anything. However lucky for us, Ms Cupcake, a vegan cupcake joint was just down the road, so we popped in there for our fill of vegan treats! It’s nice to see people are genuinely starting to look at alternatives to meat, seafood and dairy.
