A message from L & F Catering Fish & Chip Van:
“Hello everyone, so the time has come for another lockdown 
rest assured both vans will continue to visit its regular villages with the possibility of adding on some extra stops 
throughout the month of lockdown we will be going back to the pre-order system.
As you all know we were super busy the last lockdown so we feel we just need to be organised and space the orders out to hopefully stop too many people at the van at one time.
However to start with we will not turn you away if you haven’t pre ordered but we may ask you to come back at a certain time .
We understand people have to get back into a routine of texting/calling us.
We apologise for the disruption and appreciate you all supporting our little business.”

Two easy pumpkin recipes for the children to make for a family Bonfire Night.
175 ml sunflower oil, 175g light Muscovado sugar, 3 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 200g coarsely-grated pumpkin, 100g sultanas, grated zest 1 orange, 2tsp ground cinnamon, 200g self-raising flour 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda.
For the frosting:
200g tub full-fat cream cheese, 85g icing sugar, toasted chopped pecan nuts to decorate.
Heat oven to 180c/gas mark 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases. Pour the oil into a bowl, add sugar, eggs & vanilla beat together then add pumpkin, sultanas & orange zest. Stir in the cinnamon, flour & bicarb. The mixture will be quite wet. Spoon into the cases & bake for 25 mins until firm & springy to touch, and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. To make frosting beat the cream cheese & sugar together until smooth then spread on top of cakes & sprinkle with pecans.
40g butter plus extra for greasing, 200g pumpkin flesh cut into small pieces, 225g self-raising flour plus extra for dusting, 1tsp baking powder, handful of grated cheddar, small handful chopped coriander or flat leaf parsley, 3-4 tbsp milk plus extra for brushing.
Heat oven to 200c/gas mark 6. Grease baking sheet with butter.
Put pumpkin in saucepan & just cover with water, bring to boil & simmer for 10 mins, drain & mash & leave to cool. Place flour, baking powder & butter in bowl. Using your fingertips rub together until it looks like breadcrumbs. Using a knife, mix the mashed pumpkin, cheese & herbs with a little milk to make a dough. Sprinkle a little flour on work surface & gently knead the dough for 30 secs. Form the dough into a ball & roll out to 3cm thick with a cutter. Cut scones & place on baking sheet a little apart, roll up spare bits of dough & cut out & brush tops with milk. Bake in oven for 10-12mins until risen & golden. Cool on wire rack.
All recipes are from village resident, Richard Childs.

His family have announced that Sean Connery, the Scottish actor, best known for his portrayal of James Bond, and appeared in seven of the 007 thrillers died peacefully in his sleep. He was always top of the polls for being the best actor to have played the character.
He won many awards over his career: BAFTAs, Golden Globes, a Tony, an Oscar in 1988 for his role as the Irish policeman in ‘The Untouchables’; he was the recipient of the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award when he retired in 2006 – presented by his Indiana Jones co-star and friend, Harrison Ford.
Popular? Sean Connery was polled in a 2004 The Sunday Herald as “The Greatest Living Scot” and in a 2011 EuroMillions survey as “Scotland’s Greatest Living National Treasure“. He was voted by People magazine as both the “Sexiest Man Alive” in 1989 and the “Sexiest Man of the Century” in 1999.
He was knighted by the Queen at Holyrood Palace in 2000 for his services to film drama.
He celebrated his 90th birthday in August. From his home in the Bahamas, he remained a fervent supporter of independence for Scotland. Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said “
The residents and staff at Broadwindsor House have had lots of fun this week baking cupcakes ready to decorate for today’s spooky festivities.
There has been a lot of laughter and today they have already been dancing using photo props and winning prizes with a ‘Pass the Pumpkin’ game.
