It's soup weather! Very cold here in Ireland with snow and sleet expected on Sunday.
Next door to my work is the Draiocht Arts Centre with a theatre and gallery. Betelnut Cafe is based in the Draiocht and the do delicious homemade soups. Today they have Butternut squash with coconut & lime (I chose this one!) or Leek, potato & rosemary. Delicious!
New Coach handbag - it made from such lovely soft leather.....and it is orange!!
Bought it in the Coach Outlet Store in Key West. Coach only arrived in Ireland about a year ago (they have a concession in Arnotts Department Store) so are quite in vogue here.
I love this bag because I think it is a little bit funky because of the colour but still very classic because of the style.
Took all the ornaments off my tree and packed them away. I got these really handy decoration storage boxes in Dunne Stores just before Christmas. They are so convenient - I wish I bought another one.
Next year if we are going away for Christmas I may not put up a tree......I'll see!
Arrived home this morning and started my post holiday detox. After all the lovely meals I had on hols I now have a few lbs to lose.
I made a big pot of green soup to have for my dinner. The soup is made of butternut squash, parsnip, caramelized onions, garlic, kale and cabbage. it looks a bit revolting but i have to tell that it doesn't taste too bad!
I'll keep you posted on my progress!
Key West is the Southernmost city in the USA. It is closer to Cuba than Miami.
Here is a picture of the Southernmost Point marked by a giant buoy. It was very busy when I took the photo as the Ragnar Relay racers had just arrived in town.
Key West is what I would consider a bike friendly town.
Here are a few photos of cyclists in KW. I think there is something very timeless about people on bikes.
