Personal Stuff

Hi there everyone,

Well this is the part of the website that I thought I would just kinda mention stuff that I feel strongly about & believe in. I don’t mean to preach about any of the issues, but I suppose they're very important to me and I would just like to share some of them with you... in no real particular order.

I’ve been a vegetarian now for the last 14 years and its just been great - I love it!!!! It has been such a life changing experience for me, in a weird way I even feel a little closer to animals. My Mother told me recently that she found it quite difficult to get me to eat meat when I was a child, but I did eat chicken and loved it seemingly. There was always boiled bacon with potatoes and cabbage on the side for dinner growing up (for anyone that doesn't know that dish, its kinda traditional Irish dinner) mmmmmm... not my kind of thing but very popular especially in the rural area’s. Funny thing - I wasn’t even a great vegetarian then because I really didn’t like most veggies either, just a difficult child I suppose!!! We would always have Fish on Fridays (abstinence) that’s a catholic thing!!! Lets not go there, that’s a whole different conversation - although just recently I was thinking... if the majority of people who eat meat would consider having a day without meat, possibly a Friday, how much of a difference would that make?
