Soup Dragon

The title of this post refers to the wonderful character in the 'Clangers', a well loved animated show that those of us of a certain UK age will know. The weather is foul here, cold, rainy, dark and wintry. So I've some squash roasting in the oven which will be added to some home-made stock and a few herbs with softened onion. Possibly some nutmeg too and hey... A warming autumn/winter soup. With crusty local bread - yum. Oh and I'm writing this by the fire with my Lurcher sleeping in front of it, I'm very lucky.
