Did anybody go to Bristol Vegan Fair today?

[TooTicky]

Hot, wasn't it?

No, I got held up at the butchers..........

Ha ha

Just us then.

sorry no, went to the zoo, car park was full but there was hardly anyone there
bliss!!

and am not a vegan anyway......
was it good?
we went to the nature festival thingy last week-end though....

How bizarre FG.
Where were they,had they been eaten by lions.
Vegan fair eh?? Bet that was a hotbed of debauchery.

lol moondog about debauchery......
yes the lions loked rather full
so did the prairie dogs in fact
hmmmmm

Can't explain the zoo mystery but the vegan fair was cool - fab food of many types, freebies, fun and excessively loud music. Hot, though!

Any booze??

Erm, don't know. I was busy keeping track of 4 children in the crowds and missed some, I think! (3 children really, as one was in the sling!)

Massive brood de rigeur at such a beanfeast naturally.

Anyone transporting kids in wheelbarrow then?

Not that I saw... Some wacky hairdos though!
Actually, (most)vegans aren't as weird as people think and do what they do for extremely good reasons.

No but it was quiet at Cribbs Causeway this pm, apart from the air display by military jets....

Cribbs Causeway what a godforsaken place!

I don't think vegans are weird.
Well,I do a bit,but I love offbeat folk anyway.
Sounds great-I would have been there like a shot if I lived 200 miles south of here.

I know, but it is air conditioned (mostly) and sells children's shoes. I was only there an hour at most and would have been a lot quicker if I had only realised that the first shop I went into was going to have the best selection in the whole mall.

We did shoes at Cribbs Causeway once for wide-footed dd. Never again!

Well, moondog, if you start walking at Christmas you'll be in time for next year's!

what? why didn't i know of this?

couldn't you have posted of this yesterday, tt?

was there free food?

Sorry Fillyjonk! Yes, there was some free food. There was also some jolly-good-well-worth-paying-for-food. Dairy-free ice creams for 50p, all sorts of natural sweets and cakes, some truly amazing piled-high platefuls of Lebanese heaven, Indian stuff, Caribbean stuff, Fry's vegetarian foods, fresh juices and smoothies galore... are you drooling yet?

Oh, ffs! Just 30 minutes from me, free food...

you could have saved me a day of studying there, tick

I'm not actually vegan but do aspire to be.

My friend tells me there's an organic fair (or should that be fayre?) in Bristol in the autumn. That could be good. I'll let you know when it is. And there's always next year's vegan fair (fayre?)...
By the way, I've got to tell somebody 'cos it's so amazing, I had a Japanese-inspired fake ice cream yesterday, made from just aduki beans, dates and carob powder and it was delicious!

The organic food festival in Bristol is great. \link{http://www.organicfoodfairs.co.uk/\details here}

that sounds delicious. DELICIOUS. Its exactly the sort of stuff I love...I really really like vegan delicatessany stuff. And I love sweetened aduki beans. I'm going to google for a reciepe.

Yeah the organic fair isn't too great, IME. Its usually about the first weekend, but very very little in the way of free stuff and massively crowded. We went last year-newborn in a sling, ds in a backpack-I felt so much for families who hadn't got their children physically attatched to them, because it was soooo crowded. And big people showing no respect for little ones.

And just loads and loads of meat. Loads. As far as the eye could see.

I won a hamper of weleda toiletries though, that was good.

Theres usually a nice, peaceful bf area run by Born.

I think there's a vegan fair in london some time, will check it out.
