Capturing Summer
- posted 30th August 2024

It is great to grow a beautiful food forest garden but even more satisfying to savour the produce for the future weeks and months. Here we do all sorts of preserving to save our harvests for enjoying later. In the autumn it is mostly making jams and jellies, but summer gives the chance to make delicious elderflower cordial, which just tastes of summer and preserves some of that summer magic.
 
Elderflowers can be foraged if you don’t have your own tree and the cordial is great used just like fruit squash or as a mixer with fizz or your favourite tipple. It is easy to make – check online for a recipe – and if you miss the flowers, elderberries can be used in autumn like other soft fruit but you may have to be quick as the birds love them too.

New Arran Dog Exercise Field
- posted 16th September 2024

There’s a new FREE facility here on Arran for dog owners. A new local charity Arran Dogs has set up a secure dog field which is free to book and an ideal place to exercise or train your dog with confidence.
 
Arran Dogs comments:
These fields are ideal for exercising dogs who might have poor recall, are reactive, elderly or recovering from injury.
They're also beneficial to owners who may be unsure of letting their dog off-lead on a new area or maybe aren't as nimble on their feet and struggle to keep up with their four-legged friend.
 
Open to all. To book a slot for free, just go to their website www.arrandogs.org.uk. Arran is a great place to bring your dog on holiday, with pet friendly accommodation – like our own – and loads of great places to take them, from woods and fields to beaches and mountains.
