IS GOING ELECTRIC GOOD FOR YOUR WALLET AS WELL AS THE PLANET?
Motoring companies such as Kia, Volkswagen and Jaguar are now offering a broad selection of electric cars to suit a range of budgets. So whether you choose a plug in city car or a more up market luxurious model, the chances are you’ll find an option to suit your style, and wallet. If a brand new model isn’t within your reach, then consider a second hand one from around £5000 upwards. Either way, the financial advantages of buying an electric vehicle are many so read on to find out more.
Cheap to Run
Despite the initial hefty price tag when buying a new electric vehicle, car experts argue that buyers will save money in the car’s lifetime as refueling costs are minimal. In fact, electric cars can be up to 80% less costly than a petrol version of the same car. On average, an electric vehicle will drive between 80-90 miles per charge, making them extremely efficient. Additionally, an EV has less components and therefore requires less maintenance which means no more oil changes or expensive mechanic bills when your timing belt needs replacing.
Receive Financial Incentives
Everyone likes to save money and purchasing an electric car will help you do just that! All zero-emission electric cars qualify from a government grant worth up to £3,500 plus an additional grant towards a home charger. There are also grants available from The Office for Low Emission Vehicles to reduce costs further. Usually, you will receive more benefits from insurance companies too which can include battery cover. If that’s not enough to persuade you, then consider the lower road taxes too.
Goodbye to the Guzzlers
In the next ten years, electric cars will be the most mainstream option for a more eco-friendly driving experience. Furthermore, as the advantages of owning an EV broaden, the price tag will become more affordable so it might be time to say goodbye to your fuel guzzlers and say hello to the future of driving.

It’s Asparagus Time Again!!
If you like to eat as seasonally as possible then you will probably be excited that the asparagus season is about to start! Many local farm shops and greengrocers will be selling it, from the early ‘sprue’ thin stalks, going through to later season thicker stalks, perfect for soups and more robust dishes!! When you shop for fresh asparagus, check out the color of the asparagus and the tips. You want to choose the most vibrantly colored asparagus for the best flavor. The tips should be firm and bright green or tinged with purple. Avoid the spears with droopy or yellowing tips. And break or chop off the woodier stems!!
To enjoy it at its best , particularly when its young and tender there are few ways better than with eating it with just a little melted butter, sea salt and black pepper. But when its plentiful it makes an inexpensive treat when combined with other simple ingredients to make a light and delicious supper!!
Asparagus and Lemon Spaghetti with Peas
This healthy, vegan pasta dish is ready in under 20 minutes. It’s low calorie and provides 3 of your 5-a-day along with fibre, vitamin C and iron.
150g spaghetti
160g asparagus, trimmed & cut into lengths
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 leeks (220g), cut into lengths, then thin strips
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely grated
160g frozen peas
1 lemon, zested and juiced, plus wedges to serve
Boil the spaghetti for 12 mins until al dente, adding the asparagus for the last 3 mins. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the leeks and chilli and cook for 5 mins. Stir in the garlic, peas and lemon zest and juice and cook for a few mins more. Drain and add the pasta to the pan with ¼ mug of the pasta water and toss everything together until well mixed. Spoon into shallow bowls and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

The New Style Wedding
If you are a guest at a wedding this summer you may find that the choice of venue is not the traditional space you may expect !!
In recent years, couples have been embracing unique and unconventional venues, such as barns, vineyards, and industrial spaces. These non-traditional venues offer a blank canvas for creativity and allow couples to transform the space into a reflection of their personal style.
During the pandemic, outdoor weddings became a thing because they needed to be, and brides were forced to look for alternative options. However, couples seem to be sticking to the ‘at-one-with-nature’ concept and are actively looking for alternative wedding venues and theres a lot of interest around vineyard wedding venues and wine-themed weddings.
Couples are also exploring alternative options when it comes to the catering !! Gone are the days of the three course ‘sit down’ menu with a more informal eating arrangement being a more attractive choice!
Sharing menus are less formal and allow guests to taste a variety of foods while socialising. Sharing platters work particularly well for starters. You might choose an antipasti platter of charcuterie, cheeses and olives with warm breads, for example. Another popular social media trend, the grazing table is a modern update to the buffet. When done well, they can look amazing! With a mix of sweet and savoury dishes carefully arranged on the table, guests can dip in at their leisure.
For pudding , it’s easy to see why dessert bars are so popular with couples looking for an alternative to the traditional wedding cake stand. It’s also a great way to add personality to a wedding with stylish tables filled with treats after dinner.
And for the drinks, keeping with the trend of unconventional weddings and personalisation, couples are creating signature cocktails for their big day, based on their own tastes and preferences. We’re also seeing a growing trend of couples opting for shots instead of the usual champagne toast!!

Opt for flexible furniture
Make the most of a smaller garden or patio space!!
With a few clever tips you can make your small garden or patio area into a lush and cosy oasis this summer!!
Add the illusion of depth
Tricking the eye is always a good idea when it comes to making smaller spaces appear larger than they are. One way to do this is to build out layers of plants at the back of the garden to create the illusion of depth. Mix shades of green, textures and heights to get the most from this.
Turn to trailing plants
Make use of a garden fence to add colour and greenery. Climbing plants and trellises are a great solution for small gardens, as they lift flowers and foliage up off the ground.
Steer clear of cluttering up a petite patio area with furniture that sits unused most of the year, think smart with stylish and space-saving flexible furniture.Chairs, bar stools and even loungers that can be stacked on top of each other and stored away when not in use are perfect small garden ideas. Pair with a foldable table for a set you can effortlessly move to one side whenever you choose.
Captivate with Containers
You might not have space for flowers beds or a lawn, but for one easy garden idea is to bring plants and small trees into your garden through pots, planters and containers. Having plants in pots and planters means you can move them around and indoors to protect them when a frost is due. Interesting planters and pots of various heights mean they are not only a space saver but can be used to create a sense of enclosure when placed around a seating area, or as focal points around the garden.
Think Vertically
Save precious outdoor square footage - be it lawn or patio - by taking what you can off the ground. If you have a wall or strong fence available, this is the ideal spot to affix a slim shelving unit. Alternatively, DIY it by making use of garden pallet ideas.You can use these levels to display potted plants, keep smaller garden accessories, and to double up as somewhere to set your drink or hold your hat.
Repurpose an old step ladder to display plants
This is another way to take pots and planters off the ground. The well worn appearance of an old no longer used wooden step ladder also adds rustic charm to your garden.This planting solution creates extra space to showcase potted plants and garden accessories. No matter how small your space, you can guarantee you’ll be using it as efficiently as possible.
