Covent Garden

Now, as I have told you before I love London. This time I went with Mum to go and see a show and have a little mooch around Covent Garden.




We had lemonade and olives (2 things I could live on given the chance).
And then we went to see War Horse at the New London Theatre.

This is one of the most brilliant things I have ever seen. Ever. Funny, moving, spectacular and breath-taking I cannot recommend it highly enough. Please go to see it if you get the chance, it will make you glad to be alive, it was SUPER. Just take along tissues-you've got a heart of stone if you don't sob at the end.

Amazing.






September

Oooh there's a chill in the air and I love it! Roll on cosy nights in, hello winter boots and tights and jumpers.


At last my tomatoes have ripened!



Thanks to shifting them around the garden chasing any last rays of sunshine. I have an abundance of them now, so I've been making soups!

Easy tomato soup
-6-8 tomatoes
-1 small clove garlic
-1 small red onion
-1 cup of veg stock
-Tabasco (to taste, optional)
-Salt & pepper
-1 tbs sugar

Chop tomatoes, onions and garlic and sling into a baking dish. Season and add a glug of olive-oil.
Pop it in a hot oven (gas mark 8) and leave for about half an hour or until they're lovely and squashy and juicy.
Once they're roasted decant into a blender adding sugar, Tabasco and the sugar.
Blend until smooth.

Easy, good for you and quick. Lovely with a bit of cheese crumbled on top.
