It was with some trepidation …

5 December 2017 By Alan Straton

It was with some trepidation that I entered this Wimpy hoping that I could find a meat free lunch. Yes I was pleasantly surprised to spy this salad with hash brown bits which hit the spot. Nice to see #vegetarian meals popping up in the most unlikely places. #mype #straton #meatfree – Taken by the Editor whilst wandering aimlessly about pretending to be in the know.

Read about my journey here: My lifestyle changes – giving up meat and alcohol. AND, in homage to my late business partner, Hilton Shorrock I have also embarked on exploring the mysteries of Yoga.

Alan Straton

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.

      There are good days and there are bad days…. And then there are simply awesome days. Today promises to be one as I get a chance to sail on the Volvo Ocean Racer, Sun Hung Kai / Scallywag in the practice race this afternoon. Skipper David Witt is an Australian with a distinctly dry sense of humour and loads of experience. Looking forward to it and still deciding which appendage to offer in exchange for the opportunity to learn from the best.
