You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You’ll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don’t take my sunshine away
Lately I find the sun’s been playing hide and seek. On Monday, it was out in all its bright and shiny glory and then yesterday – - it was as though someone told it to run away forever!! Mr. Sun, I’m ready for you to come out and play … 
When it’s cold, dark and cloudy, add a little sunshine to your day with a piping hot bowl of sunshine soup.
A bowl of sunshine is bound to brighten your day.
It’s thick and velvety, bursting with brightness teasing you like a warm blanket in the middle of the arctic
( … whoever said I was dramatic, totally doesn’t know me 
lol)

It’s really been on and off here, one day it will be the perfect spring day – then the next, we’re back to winter. I love having soups frozen, for those random dips in the weather
