Monday 8th July today and I've managed 7 NSDs so far.
It would have been 8 but we went out for a picnic lunch down by the river and on the way back noticed that the little ice-cream shop was advertising that they had a range of vegan ice creams and lollies.
I like to support small independent businesses, especially when they make the decision to stock vegan products.
Treated myself to a vegan Magnum, one of the new chocolate, cookie crisp and raspberry ones.
Totally unnecessary but gosh, it was divine!2 -
They sound gorgeous. Vegan ice cream is so hard to come by up here . Independent businesses are very rare :-(Worlds_Worst_Superhero said:Monday 8th July today and I've managed 7 NSDs so far.
