Time for lunch!

The Autumnal weather has definitely arrived - it's time to add on more layers, wrap up warm and cosy up in front of the fire... but in reality we all have things to do and places to be.

Research shows that most of us working Brits are eating lunch al desko, which is fine as we all have work to do, but as it's important to keep fueled throughout the afternoon, choosing junk food is not the best option. Our splendid Grasshopper soups are the perfect healthy option for lunch. Just add hot water, stir, rest for a couple of minutes and eat! Yummy. If you need a carb fix, then why not add a wholemeal bread roll to dip in.

As it's wild and woolly out there, and we want to fill you up... how about a case of our tasty soups for just £5. Enter code aldesko at checkout. Be quick, the offer is only on until November 6th 2013.

Half term fun!

It's nearly half term and keeping the kids entertained can be quite the challenge. Well we have come up with some activities that can keep the whole family happy over the half term week!

1. Get Crafty
With Halloween next week it's the perfect opportunity to create some spooky decorations. It's time to get out the crayons, paints and paper, and get creative! It's also a chance to start making home-made Christmas cards, as the festive holiday is just around the corner.

2. Head Out Into Autumn
If the weather is fine why not head to your local park or out into the countryside, enjoy the fresh air and nature around. October is great time to go for walks and see the glorious colours that are now around as Autumn has arrived - it's a chance to see nature and even wildlife! Remember to keep yourself fueled up, why not try our delicious Grasshopper Pots?

3. Trick-or-Treating
As Halloween falls over half term it's the perfect opportunity to take the kids trick-or-treating, it's time to put on those scary costumes and see what treats you can get.

4. Movie Time
Watching a film is a great way to keep the kids entertained, whether you decide to go to the cinema to see a new release or stay at home watching a family favourite - it's the perfect to keep them quite for a couple of hours!

5. Explore
Being at home can be boring sometimes seeing the same things over again, if you want a different view then pop on a train, bus or in the car and go explore somewhere new! Take a couple of days away from home, at a cosy B&B or country hotel.

These are just a few ideas for you. How will you be keeping the kids entertained over half term?
