I attended my first Quaker meeting today – in Sutton. There are no other vegans there. I hope to help change that .
Hello Carol,
It’s been two years since you have posted your comment, but I have only just received this link from Les.
I wonder if you still attend Sutton Meeting?

Hi,
Just read your excellent article and wanted to say thank you for writing it and what was/is the response?
I’m in London and the good news is that veganism is a growing trend here although there are unfortunately lots of v meaty restaurants around as well.
Best wishes.
