Hi Sweetness,
Just in case you think I'm ignoring you - I'm not. I sent you and another friend a New Year e-mail late last night and I know the other one hasn't got through yet - so I assume yours hasn't either. The delay on the system that started with the seagull message seems to have got worse. So - if you have sent me stuff and I haven't replied - it's not me - honest!

Dont worry i know you are not the type to ignore people. Of course wish you all the best for the forhcoming year, its going to be a good one for you

Good to see your twinkling eyes!
How are you so sure this is going to be a good year for me?

I just have a feeling, if i am wrong will have to go the doctors!!

I have a feeling it's going to be a good one for us all - inspite of the rumblings of war.

I am with you on that front, optimists must win the day in the end
Not a great fan of politicians but do not want to jump on any bandwagons knocking them!!

Have you been reading the Barefoot Doctor's articles in the Observer? He seems to ramble on about the impending war rather a lot. But he does say we can all make a difference. If everyone has more peaceful thoughts and is just that little bit kinder to everyone they encounter - it is bound to have a knock on effect. Dan Millman says the same sort of thing. I'll e-mail you the link to his newsletter.

Thanks for the article , he speaks a lot of sense not only about
Iraq but about the whole middle east. I am sure you sre right about the peaceful thoughts, the movement to war seems horribly inevitable. We must all do out bit for peace.

Keep meaning to mention in the vegan shopper there is a rugby vegan group i take it that is the place and not the sport will e mail the details if you are interested

I guess that is the group comprised of me and my friend! Send the details and I'll let you know.

Details are on there way as i speak, hope they are of use.

Interesting to know we are listed in the little book. Wonder if anyone ever contacts her because of it.
Do you have a local contact too?

No all places north of the midlands seem sadly depleted, looks like i will have to start up my own group!!

Or join us down here!
Seriously - there must be more than just the one vegan in Liverpool. You could try contacting the Vegan Society - they have local contacts listed on their website I think. Setting up a local group could be fun - although ours hasn't been all that much help (if any) in terms of finding out more about veganism - apart from finding out about a very nice Korean restaurant that will do vegan stuff for us. (And I suppose I may be of some help to other newbie vegans with tales of my experiences and being able to offer support (and recipes of course!).) But, as I said, I have made one very good friend through it.

Yes have thought of the vegan soceity, as you say i cannot be the only vegan in liverpool, there was a woman on the walking course who claimed to be a vegan though she was a bit of a stereotype veggie, like a sitcom character vegan, she had a carrot cake from the canteen which i am almost certain was not vegan and never asked about its contents, anyway i digress the vegan soceity awaits!!
