Hello readers Summer is upon us at last!

Firstly I need to let you know the Outwoods View Directory is on the move. We have decided to give up our office and work from home so in future you will see a PO Box address.

Our telephone number remains the same.

We had some issues with the last delivery which were resolved but if you do not receive a copy of the magazine, please let me know on the tel number above or email me. Our backcheckers are out and about after a delivery and may knock on your door asking if you have seen the latest copy. Thankyou for treating them with respect.

Sunday June 30th is National Cream Tea Day. In light of this our recipe this month is raspberry and white chocolate scones. Perfect with jam and fresh whipped cream. Enjoy!

This month sees lots of new advertisers in the magazine so can we ask if you contact any of our advertisers you make them aware of where you saw their advert.

There is lots going on in Loughborough so I hope you all enjoy yourselves and ......

Take care til next time, Rachel 6

Raspberry & White Chocolate Scones 500g self raising flour 125g white chocolate drops 125g caster sugar 2 eggs, beaten 125g salted butter 150 - 180ml milk 125g raspberries icing sugar to decorate (cut into cubes and stored in the fridge) Note: the raspberries could be changed for strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or even grated lemon or orange zest Preheat the oven to 190 C. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Sift the flour into a bowl and add the sugar, mix well. Add the butter and rub until the mix resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the white chocolate drops and raspberries and mix to ensure even distribution.

Make a well in the centre of the mixture, add the beaten eggs. Gradually add the milk, a little at a time. The mix should be like a damp dough, not sloppy or wet.

Flour your kitchen surface and turn out the mix onto it. Gently roll out to about 4cm thick.

Using a fluted cutter, cut out the mix and place on the baking sheet. Gently gather any left over mix and roll out again and cut out more rounds.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until springy to the touch. Transfer to a wire tray to cool, Before serving, dust with icing sugar (or cocoa powder if you have used dark chocolate drops) Enjoy!
