Veg Fest + Cookie Exchange Details

Happy Saturday!!!!!!
I have had a fabulous day, my first day off in 2 weeks and its been smiles all round : )

I started my day with a fresh juice to give me Bikram power for my 9am class! After yoga I met Dale my sister Jes and her hubby to go grab a coffee before heading to Vegfest!

I took them to a little coffee shop I know.........

OMG! Yes people I had a coffee!
But I did 5 days which isn't too bad plus I have decided to keep to the no coffee at work and just have it as a treat fair I think!?

After our refreshment we walked the 30 minutes to Hove for Vegfest!

There was lots of stalls with things to try, the nakd stand got attacked! It wasn't huge and I was very refrained usually I go crazy buying stuff but I literally bought 2 little bags of goodies and.......

This yummy no sugar orange, cardamon and linseeds bar! Me and Dale split this bad boy it was tasty. I was hoping to get some kind of lunch there but nothing really jumped out at me. We left vegfest and did some window shopping around Hove and on our way back to Brighton. By 2.30 we were all pretty hungry so we went to one of our fav eat cheap but good food places.........

Pho!

Love this place its so cheap but the food is fresh and really yummy! I had the lemon grass chicken again with bun noodles, fresh veggies, spring roll and ginger and soy sauce. Perfect to fill my rumbling tum! I did feel slightly guilty eating chicken after gong to vegfest!

We parted ways after lunch and me and Dale came home to rest our sore feet!

I had a fabulous time today, great food and even better company : )

Here's my goodies purchase! Sour cherries and sugared almonds! They are not like the sugared almonds we usually get in these parts though oh no, these are coated in an organic sugar, hard to explain so I'll have to show you : )
