Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 Graham Come to Leicester or Nottingham. Nottingham seems really cool for vegans - there's the V1 vegetarian fast food place that is mostly vegan, and theres a vegan bakery called Screaming Carrots, and the Rainbow Centre. To my shame I haven't actually been to Nottingham yet, but I keep meaning to cos it looks really cool from all the websites I've seen. Leicester is pretty good - there are a lot of vegetarian Indian restaraunts, and a couple of veggie cafes that aren't too bad, plus there are loads of museums and ather places of interest (and the Space Centre) and a fairly good public transport system - the station is five minutes walk from the town centre. Let me know if you're interested and I can look into accomodation - I may even be able to put you up if my housemate has moved out by then and your kids are old enough for you not to be worrying about them falling down my three flights of stairs.
