🌿 A little Brunch Club update 🌿

We’ve now been doing this for three weeks, and we’ve taken on board all of your feedback and suggestions. We’ve had a little think about how we can make things work best for everyone, and we’ve now put a plan together for October. ❤️

We’ve created an October calendar so you can see exactly when the Wonky Turnip Cafe will be open and choose the days you’d like to come along, well in advance. I’ll pin the calendar to the top of this chat so it’s always easy to find.

We’ll also continue to post weekly updates with the Wonky Dish of the Day and our menu board specials, and there will also be takeaway available for collection on our opening days. 🌱

And finally, a huge thank you to everyone who has come along so far and supported us during these first few weeks of our new venture. Your love, support, lovely feedback and enthusiasm really do mean the world to us. 🥰

We’re so excited to keep building our little Wonky Turnip community with you all. 💚

Hi everyone! 🌿

Don’t miss it! Paula and my new venture, The Wonky Turnip Brunch Club, starts this Sunday! 🥳

We’re creating a relaxed weekly members’ café in the countryside, for people who enjoy good food, nature, peaceful surroundings and spending time with like-minded people.

But here’s the thing: the café is only open to members. Membership of the club is free! Once you’re a member,, you can come to the café any time it’s open – no booking necessary. And you simply pay for whatever you order from the menu.

There’ll be delicious homemade organic choices on the menu, with plenty of savoury and sweet options — all plant-based, locally sourced, homemade and made with love. Gluten-free options too. 🌱

If it sounds like your kind of vibe, we’d love you to join as a member and, of course, come along and see what we’re creating!

Please register using the link in the comments to find out more information.

Hope to see you there! 💚

🌿 Saturday at Naturally Cool Glamping

One of the lovely things about staying with us is that you never quite know what will be growing, cooking or appearing on the menu. 🌱

Our Saturday menu is created around what’s seasonal, fresh and available in our kitchen — simple, colourful, completely plant-based food made here at Naturally Cool Glamping.

This Saturday:

🥗 Lunch — Loaded Seasonal Salad
🥢 Dinner — Sticky Sweet & Sour Tofu Bowl
🍫 Dessert — Salted Caramel Choc Pot

Our menu changes regularly, so there’s always something a little different to discover during your stay.

Good food, grown slowly, cooked simply and enjoyed under the olive trees. 🌿

✨ What a lovely day we had at our VSGA (Vegan Social Group Algarve) Swap Don’t Shop event! ✨

A wonderful group of people joined us yesterday, bringing along clothes and accessories which were lovingly hung from the olive trees for everyone to browse. The idea was simple – find something new to love without spending money or adding to the demand for more new products. A small step towards caring for our planet while having lots of fun together. 🌍💚

After everyone had enjoyed looking through the treasures and sharing stories, we sat down together for a delicious two-course plant-based lunch under the trees. It was such a relaxed and happy atmosphere, with plenty of laughter and conversation.

Some guests brought their lovely dogs along, who also enjoyed the day, and with the weather being so warm, a few people cooled off in our plunge pool and outdoor shower! 🐾💦

We were also delighted that our homemade vegan dog treats, specially made for the event, were such a hit, along with our gluten-free vegan cakes for the humans! 🍰🐶

One of the best parts of the day was all the chatting and sharing of ideas about creating more community events together in the future. We love bringing people together and creating spaces to connect, share and support one another.

So watch this space… there are definitely more lovely gatherings to come! 💚

Thank you to everyone who came and made the day so special. Keep following us for future events and updates from Naturally Cool Glamping and The Wonky Turnip. ✨

Today we discovered what appears to be a family of beautiful Horseshoe Whip Snakes living in one of our old stone walls here at Naturally Cool Glamping. 🐍🤎

Like many people, our first reaction was to ask, “Are they dangerous?” After a little research, we learned that these snakes are actually native to southern Portugal and are completely harmless to humans.

The Horseshoe Whip Snake is an important part of the local ecosystem, helping to keep populations of rodents and other small animals in balance. They prefer to avoid people and use the warmth and shelter of traditional stone walls as their homes.

We feel incredibly lucky to share our little piece of the Algarve with such fascinating wildlife. It serves as a lovely reminder that when we create spaces close to nature, nature often chooses to share them with us. 💚

🌿 The “W**d” That Isn’t a W**d 🌿
Walking through the garden, I couldn’t help but smile at this beautiful carpet of purslane.
Many people would see it and reach for the hoe.
But purslane is actually one of the most nutrient-dense edible plants in the world. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, it grows effortlessly in the heat, protects the soil, supports pollinators with its tiny yellow flowers, and asks for very little in return.
It made me think about how often we label things as unwanted before we truly understand them.
One of the biggest lessons nature has taught us is that value isn’t always obvious. Sometimes the things we overlook or try to remove are quietly offering exactly what we need.
We’re learning to work with nature rather than against it. To observe before we judge.
Today’s reminder: not everything called a w**d is a problem. Sometimes it’s a gift. 🌱
