#thesatesh Im currently ignoring my morals to move towards this lifestyle and was thinking how a festival may help me to see how non-dramatic it needs to be. I like the idea of seeing whats on offer and hearing other peoples stories. I need to work on ‘commitment’ more in 2018.
Oooh I may try and go to the one in Shoreditch as it’s nearest to us. Lovely to read about these festivals as I knew nothing about them! #thesatsesh xx
Hi, i do like a vegan festival to stock up on treats. The Free from Festival is also a great place to find lots of vegan treats #mondaystumble
