It’s tempting to hide indoors during the darker months, but after too many days spent cooped up, we can start to feel disconnected from the world around us. So as autumn moves closer to winter (it may feel like winter already but - a little fact for you - *technically* it isn’t winter until 21st December) and the days get shorter, I’m sharing 5 ways I like to reconnect with nature. Plus a seasonal spiced apple cake recipe! Oh and I’m also doing a poll on which seasonal veg you would like new recipes for - whatever comes out on top will be the focus of my newsletter and recipe content over the coming weeks so get voting!
