The whole car and even the factory it is made in is very 'eco' which for me is very important and relevant to the ethos of buying an electric car. We charge it from our solar panels so it is very 'green' and have a Tesla battery to store the energy from the solar panels. At the moment we are generating most of our energy, will have to see how it goes over winter though! It is very easy to run, I just plug it into a charger on the wall at home. It has a range of about 200 miles.

I am also glad to hear you have stuck with being vegan and don't worry yourself over vitamins if you are eating a good diet and not allowing yourself to go hungry you will do well. Take B complex supplement that is a must but other than that you are unlikely to be lacking unless you rely on processed food. I don't preach to anyone and my husband is a meat eater but as you are already in, a vegan diet is best, I have certainly never felt better. If you read up on what is actually in dairy you will never want to touch it again. Well done for sticking at it! xxsewing green ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488699540355503954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157850478234582369.post-3146621616627421702017-07-22T10:16:02.789-07:002017-07-22T10:16:02.789-07:00So sorry to hear of your struggles over the past f...So sorry to hear of your struggles over the past few weeks but hopefully things will start picking up for you again now - I know it just gets overwhelming when the bad seems to outweigh the good. I've found that being in nature helps - just getting outdoors and taking some deep breaths and appreciating the simple things can be really uplifting ;)Coco Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015915605380208673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157850478234582369.post-87957188749346509752017-07-19T08:02:24.637-07:002017-07-19T08:02:24.637-07:00Thank you Jan, I like to give people a nice surpri...Thank you Jan, I like to give people a nice surprise :)Chickpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010543012720394937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157850478234582369.post-58379752827675713872017-07-19T08:01:41.238-07:002017-07-19T08:01:41.238-07:00Hey Sue, sorry to hear about Cols dad, and good to...Hey Sue, sorry to hear about Cols dad, and good to hear that Col will be having a donor stem cell transplant, it is amazing what they can do.

Life just gets in the way sometimes, doesn't it? I know what you mean about the times we live in. I must say I don't watch the news much lately as a result. Your produce is all looking good, especially the grapes. I like the look of the yellow cucumbers too.
