Quick Vegetable Soup

I love home made soup and after getting soaked in the torrential rain on my way home from the shop, I decided to make this soup really quickly while my bath was running.

(You can use any frozen vegetables, but I'd just bought these so I thought i'd try them.)

Ingredients:
1 bag frozen vegetables

1 large onion

2 stock cubes (vegetable or chicken)

0.5tsp chilli powder

Salt and pepper

Water

1) Fill a kettle with water and boil.
2) Empty the bag of vegetables into a saucepan with one chopped onion and 2 crumbled stock cubes.
3) Cover with water and bring to the boil, then cover and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
4) Once the vegetables are soft, you can blend with a hand blender.
5) Add the chilli and season to taste.

It's as simple as that!

Let's go shopping!

After volunteering at church for the best part of the day, I decided to spoil myself and go shopping. I didn't actually spend much, but I got a super cute beret and some gloves!

Sorry about the crappy quality of the Panda photo.
Beret is available online, but I think the mittens must be an instore thing.

Autumn is upon us!

I love autumn. The crisp yellowy-brown leaves crunching under your feet, the cold breeze that blows despite the sun shining with all its might and the very idea of winter (and dare I mention the "C" word) just around the corner...I love it.

My absolute favourite thing has to be shopping though. Digging out the old cardigans and jumpers and getting rid of summer clothes to make room in the wardrobe for winter-wear. I've already started scouring websites looking for things to keep nice and warm in, so I thought i'd share some of them with you!
I think there are 3 essential items that everybody should own; Leggings, Ugg boots (or boots of that style) and jumper dresses. They are the most comfortable things in the world and they look so adorable.
