Saturday 25^th July marks National Preserving Week, a whole week of events designed to get people preserving their own food and to encourage those who have the skills to make delicious preserves to take some time to help those that don’t. This is equally important to elderly people who may be struggling during these times of lockdown. From jams to chutneys, preserving can be a wonderfully rewarding hobby.

This week is the festival of British Archaeology and we are joining the celebration by exploring the wonderful Cornish landscape; a bountiful labyrinth of Neolithic and Iron Age sites.  From stone circles of dancing maidens frozen in time to majestic megaliths and hidden fougous. 

A summer stroll in the sunshine will almost certainly guarantee a sighting of a bee, gently buzzing around from flower to flower – a sound we all associate with days pottering in the garden or sunshine walks along the coast path.

With the summer months bringing longer days and lighter evenings, now is the perfect time to treat yourself to new summer scents to refresh your home. From reed diffusers to subtly scent a room for up to 3 months, through to your favourite scented candle to soothe and relax after a busy day soaking up the summer sunshine.

No matter how you serve your cream tea – jam or cream first – there is no denying that this quintessentially British treat is anything other than delicious.
