Dear Readers This month marks another milestone for the Outwoods View Directory.

A link to the current magazine can now be found on the website! This will be alongside a new form requesting the inclusion of your local events in the What’s On page. Just fill the form in and submit it to us by the deadline date. I hope as we come out of lockdown we will return to attending events albeit maybe in a different way. I’ve missed going out!

Charities have been hit very hard this year and need our support more than ever so we are pleased to be featuring two charities this month.

The Blanche Sargeaunt Foundation is supporting those wishing to remain in their own home with grants available for live-in care, night care and block hours day care and Living Without Abuse who are holding a Colour Run at Charnwood College on July 4th. More info at: lwa.enthuse.co/cf/loughborough-colour-run Our recipe this month is a Chocolate Pavlova. Perfect for family get togethers which hopefully are allowed by the time you get this magazine! You can find it on page 29.

The winner of the crossword competition is Valerie Green.

Congratulations - your £20 is on its way. Why not have a go yourself this month, easy to enter. Details on page 28.

Please remember to mention the Outwoods View Directory when using the services provided by our advertisers, ensuring that you continue to receive your FREE magazine every other month.

Take care until next time!

Have you been a couch potato for the past year?

There’s no excuse now!

Leave the couch behind and join Loughborough u3a instead!

Learn to live again and love the ‘new normal’ and do lots of things with new friends. We all need each other! If you are over 55 years young, retired, or semi-retired (no qualifications required) you are encouraged to join us as soon as you can.

We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at the United Reformed Church, Frederick St, Loughborough.

Our meetings take the form of notices, a tea break, followed by a speaker.

We belong to a national movement for the education of retired people.

This takes the form of various groups, ranging from walking, craft groups, garden visits, bird watching, Canasta & lunch groups, to name but a few. We also hold regular coffee mornings for members to socialise informally, plus outings & holidays.

If you are just retired and have interests and skills you would like to share and want to make new friends, have a look at our website:

loughboroughu3a.org.uk and come along to see us at a meeting. You will be warmly welcomed.

Retirement needn’t be lonely.

WELL JUST PICK UP THE PHONE & CALL 07922 610 336 ....WE DON’T BITE!

Soft Fruit Chocolate Pavlova For the base:

6 egg whites 300g caster sugar 3 tabs sieved cocoa powder 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar 75g finely chopped dark chocolate

For the topping: 600 ml double cream 2 teaspoons vanilla paste 500g soft fruit 50g coarsely chopped chocolate

Preheat the oven to 180C and line a pizza tray (I find these are great for pavlovas!) with baking parchment. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form and then add the sugar a little at a time whisking until stiff, shiny peaks. Sieve the cocoa powder over the peaks, add the vinegar and finely chopped chocolate. Give a final quick whisk to blend in but do not over whisk! Place onto your lined pizza tray and gently shape into the size of a dinner plate ensuring there is a thick mound around the edge.

Place in the oven and immediately turn down to 150C and cook for 75 mins. It should be crisp around the edges. Open the oven door and leave it to cool completely in the oven.

Just before you want to serve the pavlova whisk the cream with the vanilla paste until firm and spreadable. Spread over the pavlova and decorate with the fruit of your choice. Sprinkle over the coarsely chopped chocolate.

Share with friends and family - at last!

With summer approaching and the thought of family get togethers, I always think of Pavlova. So simple to create and make your own by using whatever fruit you prefer.

Here I have used strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.
