Prepping for autumn, a new opening in Midhurst and my favourite super easy soup!
This week we’re prepping for Autumn, celebrating a new opening in Midhurst and whipping up my favourite super easy soup!
My week began with a show jumping competition with Coco and Hooch at Hickstead, where Coco’s school came 5th and 6th out of 17 - a fabulous result! As always I’m so incredibly proud of my girl, especially as last week she was named Head Girl at her school.
We then attended the opening of Emma O’Malley’s beauty area within her already wonderful hair salon - now offering facials, aesthetics and more. I always receive such stellar service when getting my hair done at Emma’s, and now it’s truly a one-stop shop for all your pampering needs if you’re ever near Midhurst!
That gorgeous day with my girl then ended with a trip to Wagamamas and the cinema to see Ticket To Paradise, which was such a feel-good film, suitable for all the family. We loved it!
Later in the week, a friend came to visit, so I whipped up a batch of my delicious carrot and tomato soup using vegetables from the kitchen garden, including my extra satisfying haul of carrots. If you saw my carrots last year, you’ll know why I’m celebrating this year’s harvest!
You can download and print the recipe by clicking the button below - I always make more than needed and freeze inside yoghurt pots, they’re the perfect single-serving size.
Lastly, I take you through a few of my new goodies for Autumn, including a gorgeous sage green corduroy shirt from Beaufort and Blake and the *best* eco-conscious, reusable advent calendar from L’Occitane - who are fast becoming my favourite skincare line of all time! You have got to check out this advent calendar, filled with a vast selection of their most iconic products. I am so excited to hang it up I may have to do it pre-December!
Watch the video now for all of that and more, including why I’m attempting sugar-free for October, our plans for the AGA during the cost of living hikes and how I’m continuing to prep for this autumn/winter.
Love, Charlie x
