Hi there, Welcome to our July edition We're all very pleased here to run our second edition after lockdown. Thankfully every day the world seems to be returning to a new form of normal and slowly but surerly we can all start doing the important things we missed so much.
June’s Quiz Winner was Joan Collins from Rosecroft Close in Langdon Hills who won a Jumanji 2 DVD. Well done to all those who got the correct answer despite our mistake! Congratulations!
One big thing to remember is we must all make sure we KEEP IT LOCAL. Shop local, eat local, visit local.
In the kids quiz this month your family has the chance to win a DVD copy of Jumanji The Next Level. Don’t forget you have to be in it to win it!

So pleased with the work Danny did on my drive & paths. I didn't realise that the slabs were actually a lovely creamy colour & the block paving looks amazing! All completed in a very short period of time, efficiently & courteously and at a very reasonable price. I couldn't recommend this company enough.

Perfect Coconut Ice Cream 400ml can coconut milk, 150ml double cream, 50g golden caster sugar 160g coconut cream, 4 large egg yolks, 25g desiccated coconut, toasted
Method Serves 6 1
2
3
4
Whisk the sugar and the egg yolks in a bowl until thick and creamy. Pour the coconut milk, double cream and coconut cream in a saucepan and heat until it almost reaches boiling point. Pour this coconut milk mixture in a slow stream over the egg yolks and sugar, whisking constantly. Rinse out the saucepan (important to stop any burning and tainting of the ice cream) and return to a low heat. Pour in the custard mixture and stir in the desiccated coconut. Continue to stir constantly for 5-10 mins until the custard thickens slightly and you can trace a line through it with a wooden spoon. Pour into a bowl and cover the surface of the custard with cling film...to prevent a skin forming), allow to cool, then chill for 30 mins. At this point you can use your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker transfer the chilled custard to a small freezer-safe container with a lid and freeze for 1 hr, then use a fork or electric whisk to really churn through the ice cream to break up the ice crystals so that the mixture is the same consistency all the way through. Pop it back into the freezer for another 2-3 hrs, whisking it about every half hour, then cover the surface with a sheet of cling film and freeze with the lid on until as firm as ice cream.

LOCKDOWN MUSINGS Back in May garden centres became some of the first businesses allowed to reopen to the public. For gardeners stuck at home (even though we understood and supported the lockdown), it's been a frustrating time. We've been unable to plant during one of the best springs I can ever remember. And for many of the UK's growers it has been devastating. Millions of lost plants nurtured to be at their best by Easter were lost. The scale of the issue was mind-boggling. Garden centres and nurseries usually make the bulk of their income during the early growing season as people prepare their plots for the summer but instead they've been forced to compost or recycle millions of plants, leaving one in three growers in serious financial difficulties, with little possibility of recouping their losses later in the year. I was glad to see nurseries and garden centres reopening and in spite of my own apprehension about venturing out, I decided to go to my local garden centre reasoning that the open outdoor spaces meant transmission of coronavirus was less likely and it would be easier to maintain social distancing. My own garden has been a source of solace throughout lockdown, but what has been particularly nice is the number of people who have discovered gardening during this period.

So, as we hit July is there anything easy which you can still plant, and which will still grow? The good news is yes. Nasturtiums can be sown throughout this month. They are known for their brightly coloured flowers and attractive foliage. There are trailing, climbing, and dwarf varieties. The showy flowers can be single or double and come in fiery shades of reds, oranges, and yellows. Leaves are pale green and umbrella-shaped with long stems. They are the perfect flowers for beginner gardeners so if the kids have been dying to have a go at gardening these are your go-to plant. Sow the seeds and within 7-10 days, you should see sprouting. They are drought tolerant and ideal for hanging baskets and containers. Even better, you can add the flowers, buds and young leaves to salads, and they have the most wonderful peppery taste. Love-in-the-mist are easy to grow and have distinctive seed heads. These can be sown until early July and also again in September so they will get a head start for next year. And of course, you can still plant sunflowers. Who doesn't love a sunflower? Plant one for each member of the family and see whose grows the most. You could give prizes for the tallest, the prettiest or the largest flower. Happy gardening,

Mathew his son and two others in his team arrived promptly to "top" a 20ft tall by 25ft length conifer hedge. They cut it to a more manageable 12ft height for me and it was perfectly horizontal! The team are qualified tree surgeons and are professionally turned out with the correct safety clothing, belts, clamps and tools. They had a truck with its "Chipper" to dispose of all the debris. The team are qualified professionals, very polite and left the garden tidy and swept up the front drive. Their price is also vey competitive. I will be having them back next year and have already recommended them to my friends.

WALK BACK TO HAPPINESS During lockdown I was furloughed, and my husband John had to work from home. We decided to use the time it usually took us to commute (an hour each way) to walk. We'd never really walked as a form of exercise before...we'd never really taken any form of exercise before, so this was something new. We worked out a route and as we were used to getting up at 6am to travel to our respective jobs and we decided that staying in that routine seemed sensible so we wouldn't be too out of sync on our return to work. The mornings were gradually becoming lighter at the start of lockdown so although we were heading out early it wasn't dark. We have walked for just over an hour every day for ten weeks and this is what we've discovered. Walking trims your waistline - Both John and I had the start of middle age spread. Over ten weeks I've dropped a dress size and John has discovered he's wearing the trousers that prior to lockdown he'd been considering donating to charity. Walking relieves arthritis pain - After four weeks John noticed that his arthritis pain seemed less. This seemed counterintuitive so I consulted the arthritis society website and discovered that walking is recommended because it does indeed help reduce inflammation and stiffness in your joints. The important thing to remember is to walk 'correctly'. Hold your head up; keep your neck, shoulders and back relaxed; swing your arms naturally, with a slightly bent elbow; tighten your stomach muscles a little to give yourself a supported core, and breathe deeply as you walk. Walking reduces blood pressure - Johns blood pressure had been sneaking upwards and just before lockdown our GP had been monitoring it with a view to him starting blood pressure medication. When it became clear that he wasn't going to be examined by a doctor for some time I was concerned enough to buy a home blood pressure monitor online. We tested it out to make sure the readings matched those of the clinic then forgot about it! After six weeks (on the date he was supposed to have been returning the GP) we tried it and discovered his blood pressure was just within normal range. By week ten it was well within the normal range. Mine too has dropped significantly. Crucially throughout this period neither of us has felt like we were ‘exercising’. Walking felt natural and easy. We will definitely continue to fit walking into our day even when life returns to a more normal pattern.
