Little Vegan

15/05/2024

Hello everyone,

As many of you are aware, we have not been working since September. It started with my (Julie) frozen shoulder. Whilst I have improved, Martin has become ill. Unfortunately, it is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Martin has advanced cancer.
We don't know what the future holds for Little Vegan, though I think we may sell the business ultimately. We thank you for all your support and custom over the last few years. We have met some absolutely lovely people, we genuinely mean that, so keep being you.
We hope that life is treating you well. Please make the most of life, you never know what it has in store for you.

Much Love,

Julie & Martin x

Happy New Year to our lovely customers and followers. We hope you have had an enjoyable and peaceful Christmas time. We are hoping to get back to our deliveries soon. I - Julie - have been struggling with a frozen shoulder so have been unable to chop! I am so missing cooking and can't wait to be back. Hope you have been eating some wonderful food. Enjoy Veganuary's offerings and good luck to those new to veganism 💚🌱

Thought I would share an amazing experience I had over the weekend. It's been on my bucket list for a while. A weekend yoga/ meditation retreat.

Picture this: daily wild swims in the pristine Rydal waters, in the lake district followed by indulgent hot tub and sauna sessions. The schedule was a kaleidoscope of experiences, featuring various yoga practices, soul-soothing sound baths, breathing and meditation exercises, a hike to local caves/waterfalls and a weekend in a 17th-century historical cottage.

The food was vegan in the main, with a couple of vegetarian dishes, but always vegan options and was excellent. A really great Vegan Sunday lunch topped the weekend off nicely.

Our host, Mandy from Another Way Wellbeing https://www.facebook.com/anotherwaywellbeing, was beyond exceptional. Her warmth and hospitality made me feel right at home, despite being the only man among 14 incredible women (yes this is Martin, not Julie writing this), so I was out of my comfort zone, but had a fantastic experience and met some great people.

The final activity was wreath making, which was even more outside my comfort zone, I'd seen it on the agenda at 2pm on the last day and thought how great, I could leave early.

I however stuck around as I felt so much a part of the group and didn't want to miss out! (There is a photo of mine, which wasn't the best, but it's the taking part that counts I believe!)

So if you ever thought about trying a retreat I can't recommend it highly enough and not far away either this was in the lakes but Mandy runs events all over. I'm already booked on the day in Dec with my daughter which is south of Lancaster and feeling very Zen at the moment.

Hi all,

Just a quick message to let you know why we haven't been delivering recently. After a busy summer holding stalls at events, both of us have suffered with our health. We kept thinking we'd be back at it soon, however, I (Julie) have been diagnosed with a frozen shoulder and it could be a while before chopping and cooking on a bigger scale is possible. Realistically, it's likely to be the new year at the earliest. Thanks for your patience, in advance and thanks to a few of our lovely regulars that have been in touch to say they missed us. It's a lovely thing to hear 😊

Hope everyone is doing OK and embracing the autumnal weather and enjoying the comforting foods that go hand in hand with the season.

Best Wishes,

Julie & Martin xx

Service done for the day. Completely sold out. Who would have thought the omnivores liking that vegan food. The big seller dirty fries (25kg of fries!) with peppernoni. I'm convinced people didn't even realise there was no cruelty in their food. Few beers waiting for headline tribute band parka monkeys.
