Anchor me…
I was talking to a friend this morning and she spoke about being inspired by this version of the NZ classic ‘Anchor me’, the meaning behind it is also pretty special down here in the South Pacific so I thought it was time to have another music post in between eating, dreaming and thinking food! Enjoy…
Thai Pumpkin Soup
I’ve managed to sqeeze in one last post before I head off on my journey. This is a favourite recipe that I’ve made many times, hope you enjoy it as much as I do! And you can all look forward to a bumper Syrup Spring issue with lots of goodness from my trip!
