Hi there,

Welcome to our September edition As always thank you for reading yet another edition of our little magazine. We hope you like the new name and logo, slowly but surely we are going give the whole magazine a makeover, so don't worry it is still us!

August’s Quiz Winner was Martin Fitzpatrick from The Warren in Billericay, who won an Onward DVD. Well done to all those who got the correct answer despite our mistake!

Congratulations!

I'm writing this on the first stormy day and as much as I love the sun this slight breeze is more than welcome after days and days of mid to high 30's. I know all of our distributors will appreciate a cool day or two. Knowing the famous British weather by the time you receive this it will 3ft of snow.

In the kids quiz this month your family has the chance to win a DVD copy of Peppa Pig: Mandy Mouse. Don’t forget you have to be in it to win it!

Thankfully there has been a lot of reports of a successful Eat Out to Help Out scheme for the restaurants and local eateries. As one of the biggest industries hit by the pandemic, I am really glad to see if everyone digging in to support local businesses.

We continue this month with what seems to be our increasingly popular puzzles and also owe an apology to anyone who tackled our Wordsearch. Sorry to anyone who spent a long while trying to find the missing word in the grid!

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.

Apple Tarte Tatin 7-9 medium apples: 200g white sugar, 50g butter, 225g plain flour, 2 tbsp caster sugar, 120g cold diced butter, 1 medium egg, beaten

Method Serves 6. 20 Min Prep 30 Min Cook IMPORTANT - You cannot use a non-stick frying pan

1

Peel, halve and core the apples, then place in the fridge, for a few hours. It doesn’t matter if they turn a little brown, the idea is for them to dry out a little, so there’s less juice and less chance of soggy pastry.

2

Place the sugar into a 20-24cmcast iron frying pan along with 50ml water and let the sugar soak up the water. Cook over a medium heat until it turns golden and fudgy. Try not to stir the sugar until it’s mostly liquid. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, and a pinch of salt.

3

Carefully arrange the apples in the pan, round-side down. Be careful as the caramel stays hot for a long time! Place it back on the heat and cook gently for 5 minutes. Then remove and allow to cool completely.

4

Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl, add the diced butter and rub together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the beaten egg and combine into a dough. Add a little water if required but keep the dough fairly dry. Wrap it in clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

5

Pre-heat the oven to 200C / Gas. Roll out the pastry to about 5mm / ¼ inch thick and cut out a circle slightly larger than your pan. Place the pastry on top of the pan and tuck the edges around the fruit. Bake for about 30 minutes until the pastry is golden, then remove from the oven.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then place a plate which should be slightly larger than the pan, on top and carefully invert the tart on to the plate.

Serve warm crème fraiche, natural yoghurt, or vanilla ice cream.

DAZZLING DAHLIAS Over the past few years, I've fallen in love with dahlias for their ability to provide autumn colour.

I think Dahlias are like the glamorous friend who arrives late to the party, fresh and full of life.

Either way the vibrant colours, tactile textures and stunning petal formations make the Dahlia queen of the September garden for me. The dahlia originates from Mexico and there are 30 species and around 20,000 cultivars! Don't let its exotic past fool you; it hails from high mountain regions so is happy in cool, wet, and windy conditions. It doesn't matter what size your garden is there is a dahlia for you, from dwarf varieties to giants. There is even one variety (Imperialis) that can reach 6m (20 feet) in the wild in its native South America.

If your garden is on the exposed side, or you live in the north then look for the pompom varieties as the colourful globes are very hardy, standing up to the worst of the British weather.

Dahlia bulbs are comprised of tubers. In order to sprout the tuber must have an ‘eye’. If you live in a very cold area, you can dig up the tubers at the end of the season and plant them out again the following year. My garden is quite sheltered, so I simply cut them down and mulch them. I learned the hard way that mulched dahlias survive and thrive much better than unmulched plants. Dahlia tubers are hungry beasts and don't take kindly to being undernourished. The first year I planted them I didn't mulch and the second year the flowers were sparse and undersized. On the advice of a neighbour I fed them, mulched them, and watered them through the hot season, and they returned in full vigour the following year.

Dahlias come in the most amazing array of colours.

'Lubega Power Yellow-Orange' sounds like a toilet cleaner but is in fact a gloriously tropical dwarf bedding dahlia which produces masses of double flowers well into autumn if you deadhead it regularly. At 30cm you can plant it at the front of the border or in window boxes to brighten the dullest of days.

Dahlia 'Cornel Brons' produces wonderful round copper-coloured architectural flowers. They are long-lasting and make spectacular cut flowers.

They look good in the middle of a border because they grow to 90cm.

For gardeners who prefer a more subtle or unusual colour palette: Dahlia 'Cafe aux Lait produces enormous exquisite blooms in a soft apricot-pink colour, which fade to vintage cream. It's the perfect dahlia for creating a focal point toward the back of the border as it grows to 120cm.

Dahlia 'Creme de Cassis' has stunning two-tone petals on water lily-shaped flowers. It grows to 90cm so is good for the middle of a border and also looks fabulous in a big pot.

SPECTACULAR SUNSETS... ... And How to Capture them.

Autumn is the best time of year for beautiful sunsets. Have you ever tried to capture one and been disappointed with the result? Sunsets can be devilishly tricky to capture well, but we have a few tips.

Choose the time and place – If you're serious about sunsets make a note of places where they are particularly good then head there before the sunset to give you time to set your camera up. There are websites which tell you what time the sun will set on a particular day. Try www.timeanddate. com/sun/ Foreground is important – The best sunset photos tend to have something of interest in the foreground, generally silhouetted. This provides a focal point. Look for an attractive tree, or a wind farm, and even pylons can look impressive in front of a sunset.

Patience is also important – Sunset actually goes on for quite a long time.

As the sun dips beneath the horizon it can produce some spectacular shots, but afterwards, the colours of the sky can become even more rich and beautiful, so hang around.

So is a tripod! The best shots are often longer exposures, so they will look shaky unless you secure your camera to a tripod.

Ignore ‘the rule of thirds’ – The sunset is the star so place your horizon really low down in the shot. This fills the image with colour.

Remember reflections - If you are near water take full advantage of doubling the impact of your sunset. In this instance try placing the horizon at exactly halfway or shoot only the reflections. Experiment and have fun.
