Happy Bonfire Night!
We hope you have a wonderful celebration - but remember this is a very dangerous time of year for hedgehogs
Don't forget to check any logs and piles of leaves for any hibernating cuties 🦔

Look out for our first pick from Charlotte later on, but for now, we want to put a mini disclaimer!
PLEASE, if you choose to pick up one of these (which we of course hope you do), buy from either a 2nd hand book shop or an independent book shop!

It's well and truly the Summer holidays, and one thing we love to do is read a good book (or 5!)
AND as today is Book Lover's Day, we're going to give you some book recommendations, fiction and non-fiction, that we love, discussing, the environment, climate justice, etc etc.

Happy World Environment Day! 🍃
On this day every year, the UN uses this day to encourage awareness of climate change and ways to protect the environment.
Also, co-incidentally, who saw that incredible light show during the Platinum Party at Buckingham Palace last night?! 😍

Hi everyone! Charlotte here! 🙋‍♀️

It has been exactly 10 days since Easter Sunday, and my vegetarian journey came to an end. Since then, I have been reflecting on my experience, and want share my thoughts with you all 💭

Happy Easter from everyone at Oak Tree 🐰✝️🌳💐

I paired it with salad, as we had a lot of chips last night, and with a glass of red 🍷
Wine is normally not veggie, but this range's reds are vegan 👌 😍

Week 7: Ending with indulgence

Traditionally you would think vegetarian food to be healthier. That may be overall true but NOT in the case of my final 2 meals I can tell you - well I had to celebrate getting to the end of this journey somehow.

It may have been more Christmas than Easter but who cares? The chutney and cranberry was loveliness acidic and fruit, and cut through the outpouring of cheese - SO MUCH CHEESE 🧀 😋

[Veganuary @veganuary]

This #vegan chocolate and tahini tart is a great Easter dessert! 😍 https://t.co/K7nOOWG12N
