Although it’s not the summer we had all planned, here at TDG, we’re determined to make the most of the British spirit, sunshine and scenery. This banana ice cream sandwich recipe is so simple and delicious - and it’s perfect for the whole family to make and enjoy during this years’ stay-cations!

HOW TO MAKE IT: 1

Heat the oven to 180C(fan) and line two large baking sheets with baking parchment.

Put the peanut butter, sugar, ¼ tsp table salt and chocolate chunks 2 into a bowl and mix well.

Top Tip: Freeze the cookie mix for up to two months – just add an extra 2 mins when you cook them from frozen!

3

Crack in the egg and mix again until you get a dough-like mixture.

4

Take chunks of dough (about the size of a cherry tomato), roll into small balls and arrange them on the sheets, making sure to space them apart.

5

Slightly squash the balls of mixture by pressing down with a spoon.

6

Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges and paler in the centre (about 12 mins).

7 Leave to cool on the trays for 5 mins.

YOU WILL NEED: FOR THE COOKIES...

• 200g peanut butter (either crunchy or smooth) • 175g golden caster sugar • 75g dark or milk chocolate, chopped into small chunks • 1 large egg

8

9

Meanwhile, put the bananas, cream and vanilla in a food processor and blend until they make a thick ice cream.

Scoop into balls and place on one cookie and then sandwich another cookie on top. Serve immediately.

FOR THE ICE CREAM… • 3 bananas, chopped and frozen in advance • 2 tbsp double of double cream • 1 tsp vanilla essence

A modern take on old School

Playground Games!

When we think about playground games, a lot of fond memories come to mind. This year, although kids may not have been at school for as long as planned, we want to celebrate some of the best playground games for families, young and old, to recreate this summer to keep everyone entertained.

We’ve whittled it down to three of our favourite games, and added a modern twist!

The great thing about this game is that it can be played inside or outside, for one hour or one week! Start by gathering 15 or so different objectives, Grab a piece of paper and make a simple chart with the object name (decide how many points each object is worth) and then also add a blank column for the finder.

Hide the objects around the house and then when each object is found, add the name of the finder to the chart. At the end, tally up the points and the person with the most points wins!

A life-size take on the old school game of marbles. Use an assortment of balls that you already have (e.g. football, basketball, tennis ball or balls from a ballpit).

Make a circle with rope or chalk, which is big enough to have all the balls comfortably spread out inside. Each player stand about 10ft from the circle and take it in turns to roll the heaviest ball into the circle. The player that knocks the balls out of the circle gets to claim them, and the player with the most balls wins.

This is a variation of the classic game of Tag, where one person is “it” and tries to tag the other players. If you are tagged by “it” you have to freeze where you are. TV Tag is the same concept, but the person who is unfreezing the frozen player has to call out a TV show title. That show then can’t be used again during that game.

With plants growing faster, its important to keep on top of your gardening tasks in July.

As your plants are becoming heavier, make sure to check your trees are tied properly as the girth of the trunk increases to avoid any snapping under weight. Also use a prop to keep any climbing plants upright and ties to supports.

Neaten up your garden by deadheading dying flowers to encourage more flowers over a longer flowering period. If your fruit is ripe, pick it too.

Start collecting seed from plants you wish to grow next year.

As pests love warm weather, be sure to check plants regularly for aphids. Even try to attract beneficial insects that prey on aphids, for example ladybirds, by growing a wider variety of plants.

Continue to mow the lawn weekly. Note that any new areas of grass this year will require more water sprinkling to get them through their first summer.

Many indoor plants benefit from being placed outside on the patio during the summer time, but make sure to prevent any damage made to the leaves from long time exposure.

Finally, don’t forget to take time to sit down, relax and enjoy the wonderful nature and beauty in your garden this month. Happy July!
