Hello readers Happy Easter!

I hope the new daffodils are out in force. They always make me feel spring is sprung and we can look forward to some changable weather but the promise of better days.

The recipe in this issue is for Lemon Puddings. Great for getting the kids in the kitchen and they taste wonderful too You’ll find the recipe on page 26.

Unfortunately we are still not getting enough events to run the What’s On page but I hope by next issue we will be back to normal. Please let us know if you are holding an event and we will do out best to advertise it.

Don't forget you can win £20 if you enter the crossword competition which you can find on page 28.

Enjoy your Easter eggs!

Take care til next time, Rachel
