Cocktail Time with Lois Kingscott

THE INN AT FOSSEBRIDGE

‘North Cotswold CAMRA’ Seasonal Pub of the Year 2016

Shirley Temple This month’s cocktail is actually a mocktail – the Shirley Temple. The American film and TV star, singer and dancer died in 2014 at the age of 85, having had a wonderful career, which included becoming Hollywood’s number one box-office star from 19351938. The mocktail’s recipe and inventor are both disputed subjects, but a common concoction is a mixture of lemonade, grenadine and a few maraschino cherries (although some replace the lemonade with ginger ale). Children dining with adults are often served this drink instead of a real cocktail. A restaurant in Beverly Hills called ‘Chasen’s’ is rumoured to have made the first Shirley Temple recipe for her 10th birthday. A second claim was made by Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, who say they invented the drink and named it in Shirley’s honour. Finally, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki – a resort where Shirley Temple was a frequent visitor – also claims to be the founder of the drink. In the 1980s, various soft drink companies wanted to sell products named ’Shirley Temple‘ and ‘Shirley T’, and the Hollywood star was forced to fight for the rights to her own name! Unfortunately, when asked about the iconic drink, Shirley revealed that she didn’t even like the cocktail, as it was too sweet. Ingredients: Ice; 25ml grenadine; can of 7UP or Sprite; several maraschino cherries. Method: 1 Fill a tall glass with ice and add grenadine. 2 Pour in 7UP or Sprite, stir and garnish with a couple of maraschino cherries.

Delicious Dish with Helen Kingscott

Salmon and asparagus pie A delightful pie packed with scrumptious summer flavours – let the mouthwatering aroma of the rich, crumbly pastry fill your kitchen Ingredients: For the pastry: 275g plain white flour; 200g unsalted butter, cubed and chilled; pinch of salt, 2 eggs; 2tbsp cold water. For the filling: 2 eggs; 2 egg yolks; 200ml crème fraîche; 4tbsp dill, freshly chopped; 25g unsalted butter; 225g button mushrooms, sliced; 150g asparagus; 900g salmon, cut into 5cm wide strips.

Method: 1 For the pastry: Mix the flour, butter and salt in a food processor until the mixture resembles crumbs (or rub the butter into the flour with your fingers). 2 Add one egg, keeping the other aside for glazing. Add 2tbsp cold water and pulse until the mixture just comes together in the food processor (or mix with a round bladed knife). 3 Knead on a lightly floured surface and form into a ball. Cut off a third of the pastry, wrap both pieces in cling film and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes. 4 Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6). Grease and line a 23cm (9inch) spring clip tin with baking parchment. 5 Roll out the larger piece of pastry into a 30cm (12inch) circle on a sheet of baking parchment. Lift up the paper and upturn the pastry, pressing into the base and sides to line the tin. 6 Line the pastry with greaseproof paper and ceramic baking beans. Bake for

25 minutes then remove the paper and beans. Brush the pastry with some of the remaining beaten egg and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until almost cooked. 7 For the filling: Mix the eggs and yolks with the crème fraîche and dill. Season with salt and pepper. 8 Heat the butter in a frying pan, add the mushrooms and fry for a few minutes to soften. 9 Blanch the asparagus in a pan of boiling water. Plunge in to cold water to stop them cooking, then drain. 10 Remove the pastry case from the oven and arrange half the salmon in the base of the pastry case. Season. 11 Sprinkle over the mushrooms, then put the asparagus on top. Place the rest of the salmon on top and season again. 12 Carefully pour over the crème fraîche mixture and brush the pastry rim with some beaten egg. 13 Roll out the reserved smaller piece of pastry to a 27.5cm (11inch) circle on a floured sheet of baking parchment. Place carefully on top, sealing the edges by pressing well together. Brush with the rest of the beaten egg and pierce a couple of holes in the centre for steam to escape. Lightly score a diamond pattern into the top of the pastry and bake for 40 minutes until golden.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall... with Katie Pollard

Hello, smart bronzers Come summer, we all rush to the nearest cosmetic counter to stock up on sunscreen lotions. However, how many of us actually apply the amount we should? Nobody seems to want to take that factor 50 with them in fear of not returning with the tan we all want when we go away. What we forget is the need for shielding your skin from the sun’s rays is an essential part of achieving that healthy glow. Allowing our skin to burn under the sun does not give us the intended colour we would like – more of a beetroot than a beach babe – so protecting it is an important part of heading into your local Boots or returning with the tan you want, and pharmacy and picking up a Nivea sunscreen – I find the spray is easiest sunscreen does that job for you. to apply and is absorbed quicker than the cream.

The Local Answer

including your ears, lips (nobody likes cracked dry lips), face, feet and back of your hands! It's a common misconception that wearing make up means you don't have to worry about sunscreen on your face. Make up will prevent you from burning or catching the sun on your face right? Wrong. Ladies listen up; sunscreen should be applied underneath your make up otherwise you are just as much at risk of becoming a beetroot, as you would be without it.

Check your make-up contains an SPF Often women think it's acceptable to wear make up in the sun instead of sunscreen. This is not the case! Although within foundations and base coats today, this has been taken care of for you. Most, if not all, credible beauty brands now contain an SPF to act as a sunscreen, meaning you are getting two products for the price of one! So always check the make up you are buying contains an SPF. After all, SPF stands for sun protection factor. The Fountain of Youthful Skin exists, and it is called ‘sunscreen’. As we reach the age when the signs of sun damage appear, we get to find out whether growing up with SPF has, in fact, saved face. Want to save face against the sun? Come back from your holiday radiating beach babe, and not beetroot!

Motoring with Luke Edwards

The compact family Peugeot The SUV has been a huge success in the car market since General Motors and Ford created the original concept in America in the 1980s. Previously for a family there was just the option of a large 4x4 or an estate car – the SUV filled the obvious gap. Peugeot have just released their new 2008 compact SUV in the UK and I was invited along to test it out. On first looks the Peugeot has that sleek design flair that the French manufacturer does so well. It’s a good looking car. Inside there is a sporty theme and nice touches such as lights within the roof lining, like a Rolls-Royce.

A reassuring feature for the everyday driver Out on the country roads, the 2008 was composed and drove well, but I was soon to discover its party trick. Peugeot had arranged an off-road course and this allowed me to fully test the new ‘Grip Control’ function on the 2008. This is an adapted

The Local Answer

traction control system for low grip conditions, which is combined with Goodyear Vector 4Season tyres. The ‘Grip Control’ system allows the 2008 to cope with snow, mud and sand, and the condition is selected by a thumb wheel on the centre console. The way the Peugeot coped with sand was most impressive, with the car instantly adapting the slippage of each front wheel so the car did not dig in and simply glided through. I can imagine this would be a reassuring feature for the everyday driver who comes across the odd muddy field at an event or a beach that can be driven on. There is a choice of four trim levels with the Access, Active and Allure levels being crowned by the GT Line, which adds a panoramic roof, aluminium door sills/pedals, reversing camera and lashings of

sporty black and red GT detailing. Engine-wise you can go with either the 3-cylinder Pure Tech Petrol or the ultra-clean Blue HDI Diesel (technology developed on the race tracks of Le Mans), and there is a choice of manual or automatic gearboxes.

Driver-friendly options and packages to fit your personal needs The compelling element of the Peugeot 2008 is the price – £13,615 for the Access package 1.2L Puretech 82 up to the range topping GT Line package 1.6L Blue HDI 12 at around £20,000 on the road. Yes, you can spend a lot more on an SUV from other manufacturers, but at the end of the day these are family cars. At this price it does not matter if a trip to the beach ends up with ice cream all over the seats or if the dog gets mud everywhere! In short I liked the new Peugeot 2008 compact SUV. Price-wise it’s perfect for the family on a budget, the engines are cheap to run and there is a host of driverfriendly options and packages to fit your personal needs. If you are considering an SUV it would be worth adding the 2008 to the list and booking a test drive at your local dealership.

In The Garden with Julia Smith

Keep plants well-watered during the warmer months August at last – a month of sun and holidays for most of us with school-age children. Well, perhaps not so much of the sun! This is the month that the climbing beans you have planted need regular picking so as not to stop producing. If you are going away, entreat a neighbour or friend to come in and help themselves – and then they can water them as well! Pick any courgettes before you go, even if they are way too small, because they will be the size of marrows when you get back!

Put potted plants into a shady spot Put any potted plants into a shady spot if you are away for a few days and, if you have one, stand in a paddling pool with an inch of water to keep them going. It is the time to cut back summerfruiting raspberry canes such as ‘Glen Ample or ‘Malling Admiral’, as their harvest should be over. Cut them down, flush with the soil to stop pests and diseases taking over and to promote new canes to grow. Keep your tomatoes and peppers

consistently moist throughout the growing season or the roots don’t absorb nutrients properly and can get blossom end rot (light brown spots appear at the flower end of the fruit). Only apply a liquid fertiliser when the soil is moist. If you want some spinach to overwinter in your vegetable patch, late August is the time to sow it. Sow it in a spot in full sun and, before sowing, apply a general fertiliser like Growmore (100g per square metre) to give it a good start. Follow the directions on the packet for distances, etc.

Now is also the time to prune established fruit cordons, espaliers and fans to help restrict growth, maintain the shape of the tree and promote next year’s fruiting spurs. With clean, sharp secateurs, shorten new shoots growing from the trunk or main stems to three leaves. Prune sideshoots growing from established lateral branches to one leaf. Ordinary fruit trees are pruned in the dormant season.

Use insect netting to prevent butterflies laying eggs on leaves The cabbage white butterfly caterpillar is often a nuisance on the vegetable plot in August. It feeds on cabbages as well as nasturtiums, sprouts, turnips and swedes! You can use insect netting to prevent the butterflies laying the eggs on the underside of the leaves, or you can remove them by hand.

Interior Design with Caron Burrows

Quick lighting solutions There is so much to consider when renovating a home. Is there enough money in the budget to hire an electrician? At times it’s easy to forget certain final touches. Once the paint has dried and the carpets are laid, fitting lighting simply isn’t an option. Another solution is to invest in stylish wall lights and lamps that don’t need a professional to fit, and that can be fitted pretty much anywhere and whenever you need them.

Clip-on lights Clip-on lights are a brilliant solution if you are renting. They do not cause any disruption to walls and decoration – wall lights can be easily secured to your chosen shelving. This solution means you don’t have to chase in any permanent electrical cables, hence no mess and easy to alter if the room is likely to change function or layout a few years down the line. Choose shelving and lights in the same colour to enhance the feature.

exposed wiring – especially colourful flex – along with exposed bulbs are perfect for plugging in and attaching to a hook wherever you fancy. A quick and effective way to provide an industrial look.

String up some fairy lights

Probably the most obvious and simplest way to add effective light to Lampshades are not the only your project is a single string of fairy decorative feature of a clip-on light lights. They can transform a boring that can be used. These days, wall in seconds and with very little effort or cost – no expensive or disruptive work required. Simply tack a set of white or multi-coloured lights around a wall, window or door frame and that’s job done! Fairy lights placed around a mirror is a great way to bounce the light off other surfaces.

together, or tilt it back or up to wash the wall or ceiling with a soft light.

Don’t forget candles An easy and effective way of adding a warm and cosy glow to your project is with candles. Let your hair down – choose as many different shapes and sizes as you wish. Group together to create a warm atmosphere, but always be mindful to keep away from children and any flammable items.

Lamps Table lamps and floor lamps are fantastic for adding soft light to a specific part of the room. A lamp that can be angled will provide further lighting possibilities. For example, angled over the sofa when you’re reading, swing it over to a coffee table to illuminate a sociable get
