My plans for Christmas are as follows; to visit friends all over the UK, and to treat each of them to lunch in a different vegan cafe along the way. And then review them.
My short-list, in intended order of visit, is as follows;
Fun! 222 have very generously let me order off the menu, rather than from the buffet, as I asked in advance, and mentioned how much I wanted to try the vegan chocolate gateau (vegan chocolate gateau!).
On Friday, I'll be getting on the Megabus to London, and starting my first shift at a Crisis at Christmas Centre. I'm doing five shifts, between the 24th-28th. A friend of mine is also volunteering, at a different shelter, so we'll be meeting up at 222.
I'm looking forward to it, more than I was to Christmas last year, even though that was awesome and spent in Aberdeen with one of my best friends. It just seems like it will be a really enjoyable experience.
I also made up a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child, an endeavour to send presents to children who probably won't get anything else for Christmas. On their facebook page, you can see that they've already started distributing some of the shoeboxes. I'm really looking forward to finding out where mine ends up. I donated £2.50 to get a scannable barcode, just so I'll find out.
My short-list, in intended order of visit, is as follows;
- Warehouse Cafe in Birmingham
