October

Dont you just love October!!

Its rainy, windy and chilly in Ireland. But it is beautiful. The golden leaves cover the streets and get blown everywhere in the wind. I am all snug in my cosy bodywarmer with my cup of hot chocolate.

Pumpkin Soup - another reason to love October!! With Pumpkin in season, there's no better way to serve this veg, than in a soup. Quite simply - I bolied some organic pumpkin wiit with stock and some cinnamon this week - add a dollop of sour cream - it was BEAUTIFUL!!!

Also they run a fantastic Pumpkin Festival in Virginia - I believe Bell X1 are playing tonight!!

Another reason to love October - the chance to dress up for Halloween and go crazy for the night ;-)
Plus it means my birthday is only round the corner - and so is Christmas.

No point being doomy and gloomy - you only get stuck in a rut!! Keep thinking the happy thoughts and keep that smile in between your warm cheeks!!
