It’s pumpkin season and I just love autumnal food like this pumpkin soup made from a flavoursome crown pumpkin. I’ve topped it with small chunks of pumpkin and roasted pumpkin seeds, serve with sourdough. #pumpkinsoup #pumpkinseason #heritagepumpkin #autumnalfood #soups #slowlife #veganfood #slowi

I love autumnal weather, as the weather cools, I turn to warming drinks like a big mug of luscious oat milk hot chocolate for comfort. #autum #hotchocolate #oatmilkdrink #plantfood #wrllbeing #slowlife #cosyvomfort #drink

Red roses are a universal symbol of love, passion, romance, deep affection, admiration, and desire. This is the last of the roses in my garden and it’s stunning! #flower #flowers #redrose #rose #gardening #gardenrose #flowerpower #redflowers #nature #naturephotography #floral

Today the UK was hit by Storm Amy. When it’s windy, rainy and cold, there’s nothing like a bowl of plant-based oat porridge with my favourite toppings! I add durian fruit powder so its tryptophan converts to serotonin, to induce feelings of happiness! #porridge #wellbeing #food #healthyfood #oats

Is it a bird, is it a flower? The brightly coloured and spectacular crane flower (bird of paradise) are native to south Africa and represent joyfulness. I came across this beautiful crane flower in Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden in Cape Town #flowersonFriday #craneflower #flower #naturephotography

Spotted this Red Admiral several times in the same position on a wall. What’s wrong with the many plants in my garden I kept thinking. #redadmiral #butterfly #insectThursday #insect #gardenfriends #slowi

Stripping away the distraction in this photo enabled me to see more of the beautiful papery petals of the strawflower and its tight buds and the lovely ladybird. #flower #flowers #strawflower #everlastingdaisy #nature #ladybird #photography #flowersonFriday

I came across three Sweet Chestnut trees (Castanea sativa) in Doddington Hall, Lincs. The largest is 450 years old, with a trunk girth over 30 feet, making it one of the largest trees in the British Isles. #ancienttrees #slowi #plants #sweetchestnut #tree #nature #naturephotography #naturalwondor

When Homo sapiens first evolved some 300,000 years ago, we lived in grasslands and forests, next to lakes and rivers. It wasn't until 2007 that we became a majority-urban species. So important to spend time in nature!

The African lily (Agapanthus) is a perennial plant native to South Africa. I took a photo of a lilly in a friend’s garden in Joburg, then I saw a striking single flower against a nearby wall. #flowersonFriday #flower #flowers #africanlilly #plants #flowerphotography #nature #flowerpower #slowi
