CHOCOLATE COURGETTE CAKE
This recipe is by Hannah at the lazycatkitchen.com In her words ”It is incredibly moist, soft, chocolatey and very, very more-ish!” We agree! It’s a vegan recipe with gluten free option.
Wet ingredients
• 200g /1¼ cup sugar
• 80ml / 1/3 cup neutral oil
• 60ml / ¼ cup plant milk (I used soy)
• 240g /1½ (tightly packed) cup coarsely grated courgette
Dry ingredients
• 65g / 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ tsp baking soda
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• 210g/1¾ cups all purpose flour or GF all purpose flour mix
• 100g vegan dark chocolate, chopped (optional)
• 1 tbsp ground flax seeds (GF version only)
Method
Set the oven to 175°C/350° F. Grease a 1kg/2lb cake tin with a bit of oil or line it with a piece of baking paper.
In a large bowl mix all the wet ingredients together. If using vegan block or coconut oil, melt it and allow it to cool off before using.
Place a sieve over the bowl with wet ingredients and sift cocoa powder in. Fold it into the wet ingredients until well combined. Next, sift in salt, both baking agents and flour in 2 batches, folding each batch gently into the wet ingredients.
Fold in chocolate chunks if using and, only if using GF flour mix, ground flax seeds. Finished batter should be thick, not pourable. Transfer the batter into a baking tin. If making a gluten-free version of the cake, allow the cake to sit in the tin for 5 minutes before baking. Bake for approximately 42-45 mins. Let the cake cool down completely before removing from the tin and slicing.

AUGUST IN CRESCENT GARDEN
Several annual plants are grown in the garden for a summer display. These are plants whose seeds germinate in the spring, produce flowers in summer followed by seeds in the autumn, die when winter arrives and need to be planted again the next year. They are good for filling gaps between the permanent plants which are there year after year.
One such plant making a great display in front of the fountain is Ammi majus, commonly called laceflower. It is making a lovely frothy show of delicate white blooms around the more sturdy perennials growing there. Ammi is a member of the Umbelliferae family, therefore related to plants like celery, carrot and wild cow parsley and consequently has the same plate shaped spread of tiny flowers at the top of delicate stems familiar from those plants. It has a wide distribution in the wild through southern Europe, North Africa, west and central Asia. It is thought to be originally native to the Nile valley. It grows well in bright sunshine and well drained soil. The flowers are rich in nectar and pollen, so attract bees and other pollinators. The seeds also attract small birds and are especially loved by goldfinches. The plant is generally disease and pest free, but can be slightly poisonous to cats, dogs and horses, but not to birds or people. It has been used medicinally for centuries in China and was used mixed with honey in Europe in the 13th century
for various skin complaints. Even today a powder called Aatrillil is made from its ground up seeds and used to treat some skin diseases.
Another annual growing amongst the Ammi is Cosmos. Although this flower comes in many shades of pink, red and white, we have chosen to grow only white ones and in the original shape in keeping with our rule of having no plants in Crescent Garden introduced into UK after 1850; no modern double versions with frilly petals for us! Cosmos is native to scrub and meadowland in Mexico with some species spreading into USA and South America. It is also widespread in the high eastern plains of South Africa where it was introduced in contaminated horse feed during the Boer War. The Spanish brought it to Europe and gave it its name from the Greek, Kosmos, meaning ‘orderly arrangement’; the flower was like the universe was thought to be in the 16th century with an orderly arrangement of petals round the glowing yellow centre of stamens. In keeping with its native distribution it enjoys plenty of sun and well drained soil, not too rich in nutrients. If the soil is too rich it will produce large leafy plants, but very few flowers. Each flower last only a few days, but more are produced from June until the first frosts, especially if the plants are dead headed regularly. The flowers attract pollinators and the seeds provide food for birds. Not many pests attack Cosmos, but young plants may need protection from slugs and snails. Parts of the plant have been used in traditional herbal medicine in Mexico and Africa. Modern research shows significant antibacterial properties in the plant and it is also an ecofriendly ingredient of cow feed as it reduces methane production in the cows by 26%!!
It's a bit late for growing these annuals in your own garden this year, try them next year.

Do you have important legal documents in place to protect your interests and make life easier for you and your family, whatever the future brings?
If you have received a diagnosis of dementia, or are concerned about becoming ill and unable to cope with paying your bills, wouldn’t it be helpful for a family member to be able to step in and deal with your finances? If your family member needed to make decisions for you, instead of just acting on your instructions, they would need your formal written authority to do this.
Formal authority can be given by creating a Lasting Power of Attorney. This document will allow your family member to take over managing your money, either temporarily or long term.
You can also create a Lasting Power of Attorney which allows your family member to make decisions for you about medical treatment, if you are unable for any reason to make your own decisions. This is not the same as an Advance Decision, which is a document which sets out your decision to refuse medical treatment in the future, under specific conditions.
If you are caring for an elderly relative, or are likely to be doing so in the future, a Lasting Power of Attorney will mean that you can provide the support your relative needs and access services on their behalf, without the difficulties, stress and resistance you would otherwise encounter.
Having a Will gives you peace of mind that your money, property and personal possessions will be going to the people you have chosen to benefit. An out of date Will can cause problems within the family or mean that a chosen beneficiary receives nothing.
If you have any unanswered questions about Wills or Lasting Powers of Attorney, Christine will be pleased to help, so do please get in touch for a free, no obligation, chat.

MEET STUBBINGTON WEEDERS
On the hottest day of the year I headed into the Village to meet with the most wonderful group of people! The Stubbington Weeders. They are responsible for the Village looking beautiful! Originally started 3 years ago by Yvonne and Melanie who wanted to see the Village clean and tidy and feed their need for neatness, the current group are locals Andrea, Mick, Karin, Irene, Jenny and Yvonne.
They are there every Tuesday weather permitting. Some get there early, some stay for a while and Andrea can be there until it gets dark! They weed, prune, sow, seed, plant, grow, tidy and maintain the lushness of the borders and green areas in the Village. Fareham Borough Council mow the lawns but the Weeders keep on top of everything else. It’s not all about the weeding, there’s time for a chat, a cuppa and cake!
You may have seen Bugingham Palace. This Palace was created by Weeder Mick. Stubbington Roofing kindly helped with the roof. What Mick has done for the local bug community is just brilliant! His appeal for pallets was granted and he set to work on creating the Palace. It is a work of art. It’s given a lovely bit of interest just next to the car park.
The Weeders have great support from the local community. They are hugely appreciative of the support from; The Fruit Basket who are always supplying free plants; Parkers, Crofton Lions whose donation paid for the much needed water carrier; Love Stubbington; Stubbington Roofing for the Bugingham Palace roof; Pal Hayre; FBC for mowing and taking the rubbish away and Ariel Embroidery for the team’s tshirts!
The Weeders all agreed how rewarding it is. It doesn’t go unnoticed, whilst I was there a member of the public came and thanked the Weeders for their work!
The group has a great positive vibe. I could see they all enjoy their Tuesdays there! It’s not just about what they are doing it’s who they are doing it with - their community. They chat to shoppers passing through the Village. Visitors ask them for information, directions and recommends. I think they also double up as Stubbington’s Tourist Information Centre!
They are looking for more volunteers! If you are able to bend and kneel, you’re in! Just bring your gloves and a trowel anytime on a Tuesday from 10am - weather permitting. Come along for a weed and a chat!
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the Weeders. They are really lovely. Their energy is contagious! Whatever is going on in your life, at home, in your head, good or bad, you would certainly feel lifted being part of the Weeders. I couldn’t resist picking a few weeds on my way back to my car! It really is contagious!
Moving is good for you, community is good for you! May see you Tuesday!
