We've started a blog!

Hi!
 We've started a blog!
 We are a vegan family who are setting up an online vegan shop called VegaNation at veganation.co.uk . We will start off fairly small but plan to sell delicious vegan treats, dairy free chocolate, vegan gifts, crueltyfree  bodycare products, homeopathic remedies and some of our favourite vegan-interest books, ranging from Benjamin Zephaniah  to Peter Singer.
  We are doing this because we want to earn a living, obviously, and also because we want to raise some money for Hillside Animal Sanctuary. Hillside, in Norfolk, are currently looking after over 1000 animals, including over 300 horses.
  Two years ago we headed a campaign to save a young Highland steer called Fergus from imminent slaughter because he was no longer wanted at the country park in Cambridgeshire where he lived with his herd. At the eleventh hour his life was spared and, very luckily for Fergus, he was offered a home at the wonderful vegan-run Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Frettenham, Norfolk, where he has lived ever since, with his Highland
friends Pete, Buttercup, Candyfloss and Blondie.
  We were already supporters of Hillside, but ever since then have wanted to do more to help them- they stepped in and offered Fergus a home when he needed one, and we are so grateful for that. Fergus is a very large animal (we are so proud of him- he's by far the biggest animal we've ever saved!!) and he costs a lot to feed and care for- approximately £60.00 per week!
  Now we are setting up our shop and we are going to use our business to tell more people about Hillside- there is a link to Hillside on our website at hillside.org.uk and we have decided to give to Hillside with every purchase made.
  We also want to show what great food vegans eat! We plan to share some of our favourite recipes, and then  you can visit our shop at  veganation.co.uk  to buy some of the ingredients to try the recipes and that will be great for us and for Fergus!
   I guess that'll do for now!
