Pumpkin soup, romance and rugby madness

Hello friends!

I’m the first to admit that I am a hopeless romantic. It’s pretty obvious considering that my favourite movie is Pride and Prejudice (and not just the inauthentic Hollywood version either…I’m talking the extended BBC classic one.) So you would think that having watched a few too many rom-coms I would be fully apt in dating and other such flirtatious shenanigans. Wrong. I’m not sure if it is my lack of a love-life, or my natural awkwardness that makes the whole dating scene a complete and utter nightmare….

Vegetable soup is good for your soul…

Hi friends!

It has been far too long! I would apologise, but I’ve just made it through test week hell, so I feel that I deserve your sympathy. In my absence it appears that Autumn has slinked in quietly and made itself comfortable. Do you know, I have been itching to bundle up in scarves and fluffy jumpers since the first signs of leaves falling. However, Auckland has been tossing and turning, tirelessly between two seasons (phew, now there’s a tongue twister.)

Well, as unreliable as the weather may be, there is something about Autumn that calls for soup. Because, lets face it, soup at any other time should just be when you are sick. So bearing that in mind, I thought I’d share one of my favourite soup recipes with you.
