Eat Well, Live Well - Meet the team - Emily's tips for keeping warm

What is your favourite thing about winter?
I love winter, especially after Christmas when you can know that Spring is just around the corner! My favourite thing to do on a winter's day is go for a walk in the fields around my village with my boyfriend.  The views are fantastic and it's really nice bumping into my neighbours along the way. Even though I put on lots of layers I'm always freezing so when I get home I have a hot chocolate in front of the fire - I am definitely the Ryvita team's biggest chocoholic!

What do you do to keep warm?
When it's raining on a Sunday afternoon (or even snowing!) so you're stuck indoors, I love trying new recipes that will keep me nice and warm. My parents got me a blender for Christmas so I have been trying lots of different soup recipes. My favourite is Tomato Soup, I never realised how easy it is to make from scratch! To add an extra crunch I've been starting to add my favourite RYVITA®, Sweet Onion Crispbread, on the top as croutons. You should try it, it's delicious!

What is your favourite memory of winter?
My favourite memory of winter has to be last year when my boyfriend & I went to The Lake District for our anniversary. There was still a lot of snow on the ground, it looked so beautiful and felt like we were in the Alps.  However we weren't quite prepared for the amount of snow there was, one day we took a wrong turning to find ourselves on Kirkstone Pass, (which is apparently the highest road in England).  I wasn't sure we were ever going to make it back to our cottage, the snow was nearly as high as my car!
