Narrowly missed being flattened by @StagecoachSW bus driver at 8.14! I was partway down the narrow part of Exeter High Street (by mountain warehouse) when they decided to drive straight towards me, forcing me to slam on brakes and jump off leading to cuts and bruises.

The 5 x table is taking centre stage in our household today

Thanks @PennywellFarm Pig cuddles are the most relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon. #Friendsnotfood

Loving the range of plant-based options for @veganuary at the fabulous #stsidwellspoint leisure centre @ExeterCouncil 😋

Amazing food at the vegan voyage event in support of @veganuary @UniofExeter this evening. Thanks to the wonderful chefs and catering team for a fabulous, generous and innovative feast!

Interesting but confusing evening listening to @michaelcaines @UniofExeter He preached plant-based eating and menus whilst praising (local regen) beef and lamb. Guess chefs (like many foodies) want to have their cake and eat it...
With @nationaltrust leading the way it's time @UniversitiesUK offer more plant-based catering for the benefit of people, planet and biodiversity. @Bryant_Research suggests huge savings in land, carbon, water and money if universities go more plant-based! bryantresearch.co.uk/insight-items/…
‼️🌱 Plant-Based Councils campaigners are changing the world, and not just through council chambers 🌍 Last week, over 55,000 members of the National Trust voted in support of moving to 50% plant-based catering. 1/3
