when the geese flew south

 

I flew home to england from a lovely sunshine holiday just as the birds began their journey south, leaving behind a definate autumn chill and a marked change in season. The summer has been disappointing...aside from a few weeks in june i have been crossing my fingers to wake up to sunshine.

So, now my toes and fingers are colder than they have been for a while, and im thinking about films, red wine and woolly mittens, like eating toasted cheese sandwiches, hearty stews and braised red cabbage.

I'm going to try out this winter squash soup recipe at the weekend, looks like the perfect lazy sunday food.

The change in weather has motivated me make some much needed changes in my life, including a big clear-out to reduce the mountains of clothes and shoes i have amassed - and i'm going to be ruthless.

i'm trying etsy for a change, it seems so much easier and cheaper to use than ebay - and i can link it to my blog too.

I'm now thinking about warmer clothes and knitted goodies - i saw these (slightly ugly) shoes recently and keep thinking how cute they would be with thick long winter socks...and these crochet cashmere gloves are from a great little shop on etsy called adventures of jessica rose
