Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Hello everybody My name is Ellie, I'm 37 years old and have been vegan for the past 9 years. Vegetarian before that for a long time - can't remember when exactly! I have been with my partner, Jon, 32, for almost 8 years and he has been vegan for 10 years, and we have 6 month old twins, (vegan for 6 months ha ha) We live near Wakefield in West Yorkshire and the area is reasonably good for eating out, and buying vegan has certainly become a lot easier over the past 9 years. How many other vegans do we know??? 2 in this country and 2 in France. Sue & Trevor at Le Guerrat vegan B & B. Highly recommended, sorry for the plug!

Plus our health visitor went to the trouble of printing off " Introducing Solids for Vegan babies " from the vegan society website - didn't have the heart to tell her that I'd already got it - was just impressed that she was being supportive! Things are changing. Ellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Have you joined the Vegan Society vegan families contact list? It's a good way to find other vegan families in your area.
