It's no denying that Autumn is upon us. The trees have nearly shed all their leaves, the days are much shorter, much colder. Halloween has come and gone, and before you know it, it will be Christmas. That's right, I said the C word.

I'm craving lots of comfort food, easy foods that can be left on their own in the oven with not much tending to. At this time of the year it's all about the squash and my favourite way to eat them is to simply roast them in the oven. Seasonal simplicity at it's best. And because time is something I don't have a lot of these days to spend in the kitchen.

Does anyone else feel like they wish they had more time in their day? I certainly do.

Here I give you just simple roasted pumpkins. No recipe needed, no words necessary. Just Photos.

I can smell change in the air and I like it a lot. The cherry blossoms have come and gone all too quickly. I wish they would last longer but that's mother nature for you. Elderflowers are starting to bloom and I have a small bowlful of the ones I picked from last weekend's urban foraging trip with , drying in my cupboard. I didn't have enough in my stash to make elderflower syrup, so it looks like I'll have to venture out and forage again in the next couple of weeks before the elderflower season vanishes for another year.

All this extra foliage can only allude to the fact that the weather is warming up over here. I wait patiently for summer to make it's way to us so I can wear these sandals. I also have an upcoming trip to Sweden this summer, which I wait patiently for. To tell you the truth, I'm REALLY excited about this trip. Stockholm has been on my bucket list for some time and it will allow me to further fuel my obsession with all things Scandinavian.
