What’s orange and sounds like a parrot? A carrot.

Carrots: the original crunchy multitaskers. They help you see in the dark (thanks, vitamin A), keep your skin glowing, your heart happy, and your digestion ticking along — all while being sweet, low-cal, and impossible to eat quietly. Basically, they’re the overachievers of the vegetable world.

Seasonally available at the moment so here is a warming tasty recipe.

Creamy Carrot Soup (Serves: 4, Prep time: 10 mins, Cook time: 25 mins)

🌿 Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 750g carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced (for extra creaminess)
- 1 litre vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a pinch of ground ginger, cumin, or coriander for warmth
- Optional to finish: cream, coconut milk, or a dollop of yoghurt

🍲 Method:
Heat the oil or butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent (about 5 minutes).

Add the garlic, carrots, and potato, and cook for another few minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until the carrots and potato are tender.

Season with salt, pepper, and spices to taste. Add a dollop or two of cream, coconut milk, or yoghurt.

Blend the soup (using a stick blender or in batches) until smooth.

Serve with a swirl of cream or coconut milk and a sprinkle of herbs, seeds, or chilli flakes if you’re feeling fancy.

Cranial Osteopathy — gentle, powerful, and deeply restorative ✨

Cranial osteopathy is a subtle yet highly effective form of osteopathic treatment that can help the body release tension and restore balance. Using gentle, hands-on techniques, your osteopath works with the natural rhythms and movements of the body - helping to ease discomfort, calm the nervous system, and support overall wellbeing.

It can be especially helpful for:
💤 Stress, anxiety, or sleep issues
💆 Headaches and jaw tension
🍼 Babies and children (for colic, feeding, or sleep difficulties)
🌿 General feelings of imbalance or fatigue

Many people describe it as deeply relaxing — like a physical and emotional reset for the body.

If you’re curious about how cranial osteopathy could support you (or your little one), we’d love to chat or book you in for a gentle, restorative session.

"Stress incontinence is when you leak urine when your bladder is put under extra pressure, and could happen when you laugh, sneeze, lift something heavy or exercise. While it is normally small amounts of urine that leak, it can be larger volumes, especially if your bladder is very full."

Warming, family-friendly supper idea:

Butternut Squash & Sage Risotto — nourishing, comforting, and wonderfully simple to prepare.

This cosy dish is perfect for cooler evenings and can easily be adapted with whatever you have on hand — extra veggies (even those a little past their best) or leftover roast meat, like shredded chicken, for a boost of goodness and zero waste.

A satisfying veggie supper that gives a basic risotto recipe an autumnal twist
