AUTUMN FOODSThe abundance of fruits from the autumn harvest gives plentyof scope for delicious recipes from vibrant squashes to sweetfigs but the classic fruit crumble really takes some beating!
In season during September and October:artichoke, aubergines, beetroot, blueberries, broad beans,broccoli, butternut squash, carrots, celery, chestnuts,clementines, courgettes, cranberries, cucumber, duck,elderberries, elderflowers, fennel, figs, French beans, garlic,grapes, kale, leeks, mackerel, mangetout, marrrow, melons,nectarines, onions, parsnips, peaches, pears, peas, peppers,potatoes (main crop), radishes, rabbit, raspberries,r ocket,runner beans, salmon, sardines, scallops, squid, tomatoes,walnuts, watercress, wild mushrooms
FIGSThe fig is considered to be one of the most sensual of fruitswith its tempting, luscious flesh that is at its best when it hasbeen left to ripen in the sunshine. The ancient Greeksrecognised the health benefits of figs and included them in thediet of the athletes for the first Olympic Games. Some preferto peel the fig before eating, but in fact the whole fruit isedible. Figs should be eaten at room temperature, as chillingsuppresses the flavour. If you get a glut, fig jam is delicious orthey can be poached in syrup and served with a little crèmefraîche or mascarpone. Try fresh figs quartered, served withthick Greek yoghurt and drizzled with honey - delicious!
BLACKBERRIESBlackberries can be gathered as soon as they ripen from redberries into dark, plump ones. They can be eaten fresh (theyonly keep for a short time) or preserved into excellent jelly orjam - although the latter can be a bit 'pippy'. They are alsodelicious in pies, crumbles, ice cream, fools and summerpuddings and are a natural partner to the first cooking apples.Blackberry and apple jam or crumble are popular recipes.Blackberries also make an excellent match for rich or gameymeat such as venison, lamb or pheasant.
APPLESWorcester Pearmains, Bramleys, Discoveries, Early Windsorsand Cox’s Orange Pippins should all be making anappearance this month. Some of these are available insupermarkets, but searching out local growers and visitingorchards will give you an even wider choice. It will also meanthat the apples you buy will be as fresh as they can be. UseBramleys in pies and crumbles, or bake them whole withsome brown sugar, butter and spices. Slices of caramelisedapple also work wonders with meat, especially pork.
Pumpkin Pie
Use a ready made sweet crust pastry case.
For the filling:450 g/1lb prepared weight pumpkin flesh,cut into 1in/2.5 cm chunks2 large eggs plus 1 yolk 3 oz/75g soft dark brown sugar1 tsp ground cinnamon½ level teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg½ tsp ground allspice½ tsp ground cloves½ tsp ground ginger10 fl oz/275 ml double cream
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Use a shop bought sweet crust pastry case,about 9 inch/23 cm diameter and 1½inches/4 cm deep.
To make the filling, steam the pumpkin thenplace in a coarse sieve and press lightly toextract any excess water.
Lightly whisk the eggs and extra yolktogether in a large bowl.
Place the sugar, spices and the cream in apan, bring to simmering point, whisking.Pour over the eggs and whisk again briefly.
Add the pumpkin pureé, still whisking tocombine thoroughly.
Pour the filling intothe pastry case and bakefor 35-40 minutes, by which time it will puffup round the edges but still feel slightlywobbly in the centre.
Remove from oven and place the tin on awire cooling rack.
Serve chilled(stored looselycovered in foil inthe fridge) withsome equallychilled crémefraïche, cream orice cream

Old-fashioned Cold RemediesAfter years of fobbing them off as old wives'tales, scientists have discovered that some ofthe traditional old fashioned cold remediesactually do work. Hot fruit drinks andchicken soup are just two of Granny's old-fashioned remedies that have been proveneffective in the fight against colds and flu.
Hot FruitDrinksExperts at CardiffUniversity'sCommon ColdCentre haveproved that asteaming mug ofhot fruit cordialhelps to reducesymptoms of a cold.Sipping the hot fruity drink increases airflow through the nose, making it easier tobreathe, and raises body temperature,making you feel immediately better. Lemonor citrus flavours are best and the drinkshould be drunk piping hot or at roomtemperature.
ChickenSoupChicken soupcontains a numberof ingredients thathelp to easeinfections of theupper respiratorytract; in other
words a blocked up nose and a sore throat.A good hot chicken soup made with chicken,
onions, sweet potato, parsnips, turnips andsalt and pepper, calms inflamed throats,breaks up mucus and creates airwaysecretions, making it easier to breathe.
GarlicAlthoughher adviceto crush itin a glass ofmilk mayhave been alittleextreme, Grandma was rightagain with her tip that garlicwas good for fighting colds.Research has shown that garlicis an antioxidant and can shortenthe life of a cold. Also, Allicin, aningredient found in garlic, is adecongestant that will help clear yourblocked nose and sinuses.
A Hot Toddy This one might havecome from Grandparather than Grandma,but whoever advisedyou to slip a couple ofdrops of whiskey intoyour hot honey andlemon drink was
talking sense. Small amounts of alcohol(we're talking whiskey or brandy here notSmirnoff Ice or cider) can have an anti-inflammatory effect on mucous membranesand can help reduce a fever. A dash ofalcohol in a hot drink before bed can also aidrestful sleep.

The question has been popped and the planning
can start in earnest. Getting married can be one of
the most stressful events you will ever have to
organise. Not only must you agree on the type of
wedding you would both like, but you have to bring
it all together within a finite budget, hopefully
without upsetting too many members of the family.
And the icing on this particular cake is that you will
have (hopefully) only one shot at getting it all right.
Choosing the type of wedding and venue for your
celebrations are two of the most important decisions
you will make when it comes to planning your big
day. The reception venue is the place where you will
spend most of your day and where the wedding
breakfast, evening party and maybe even the
ceremony will take place, so it's crucial to get it right.
Some people just wouldn’t feel married unless they
had a church service followed by a traditional
reception, whilst others would do anything to avoid
the pomp and ceremony of a traditional wedding and
instead opt for a low key civil ceremony. And whilst
some couple will have a generous budget to cover the
cost of the wedding, for others every penny saved is a
godsend and the type of wedding they choose is
determined more by cost than any other
consideration.
If you're having a religious wedding, the general
rule of thumb is that your venue should be no more
than 20 minutes' drive from the church, so that your
guests don't have too far to travel between the two.
The same rule applies if you're having a civil
ceremony in a register office. In this case you must
take parking into consideration and ensure you have
found out and made your guests aware of where to
park.
The alternative is to opt for a venue which is
licenced to marry couples and this is increasingly
becoming a very popular option. Often larger hotels
and venues are able to offer a full package including
the marriage ceremony, wedding reception, evening
reception, and overnight accommodation for guests.
In fact the options to couple planning their
wedding are mindboggling. Church or civil
ceremony, local to the bride’s family home where she
grew up or local to where the couple now live,
traditional or informal, large celebration or small and
intimate, in the UK or or abroad (often called a
destination wedding). If you choose to go abroad to
marry, would you prefer to be alone or have friends
and family accompany you?

As the cost of weddings rocket, many couples are
exploring the option of getting married abroad and
combining the wedding and honeymoon into one
package. Even with a long haul exotic destination such
as the Seychelles, the wedding and honeymoon together
can often work out less expensive than a traditional
wedding at home. And you’re guaranteed good weather
and good wedding photographs!
Specialist companies are available to help you make
your dream wedding a reality regardless of how ‘wacky’
or unusual the theme.
The USA is perfect for unusual weddings - it seems to
be that anything goes in
some parts of the US.
Everyone is familiar
with the Las Vegas
wedding chapels with
the minister dressed as
Elvis, but did you also
know that you can get
married in a hot air
balloon, at Niagara
Falls, on horses with a
cowboy theme, in fact
if you can imagine it, it
can probably be made
to happen. Ski-
enthusiasts - how about
ski-ing to your
reception, in full
wedding regalia! Made
about animals? How
about getting hitched on
Safari, surrounded by
giraffes and hippos!
But the destination
weddings aren’t just
about the weird and
wonderful. Destination
weddings offer a great
solution to couples who don’t want a religious ceremony,
don’t want a large reception and would rather just go
away and do it. Or for the impossible romantics, what
could be more romantic that being pronounced man and
wife on the beach, with the sound of the sea lapping onto
the shore and a glorious sunset?
But are destination weddings the easy option? They
can be, but you have to bear in mind that you may be
getting married in a place you have never seen until the
day before you wedding - you really do need to go into a
destination wedding with your eyes wide open!
Many tour operators offer wedding packages that
takes most of the planning and stress away from you.
You’ll have different options to choose from, but other
than getting official documents officially translated to
comply with legalities, there may not be that much else
to do.
What you do need to consider is is that setting -
beach, chapel/church/hotel room or somewhere
overlooking the beach or a fabulous view. If you are
opting for a beach wedding, please be aware of the time
of day you will be getting married - you may not want to
stand for very long in your finery if the heat is blistering
and there is not shade nearby, and your guests may
suffer, if you have family and friends with you. Also the
sand can get very hot and won’t be suitable for many
types of footwear, so warn your guests and think
carefully about footwear. Barefoot on the beach sounds
idyllic, but if the sand is unbearably hot, you may not be
able to stand still!
Most venues and
wedding planners will
have taken this into
consideration and
scheduled weddings for
late afternoon or mid
morning but ask.
It is also worth
asking before you
confirm you booking,
how private the
ceremony is and how
many wedding will
take place each day -
this will give some idea
of what to expect when
you get there.
Even with destination
weddings, most families
and friends expect a
celebration of sorts on
your return, which can
be anything from an
informal party at home
if you have the space, to
a formal reception.
As someone who
took the plunge and got married abroad in Greece, all I
can say about our experience is that it was the perfect
wedding for us. Low key, easy to plan, a great setting and
a lovely holiday to boot. We opted for Greece so that both
sets of parents could be there and we had a lovely party at
my parents on our return.
For us it was perfect, but I must warn you that our
marriage certificate looks like a scrap of A4 paper and
totally unrecognisable as a marriage certificate - it’s in
Greek. That alone has caused a few raised eyebrows and
hiccups when I’ve been asked to confirm my marital
status. Hubby is convinced we’re not actually married!
And as idyllic a sunshine wedding is, if you’re not
used to the sun, do prepare beforehand and be prepared
to stay out of the sun before the wedding. The last thing
you want on your wedding day is to be lobster red with a
nice cold sore brewing - heed my words!

There are many customs and superstitions associated withweddings. Many originated or are modifications of customswhich began many centuries ago and are known throughout thecountry and many parts of the world. They are maintained inthe belief that they will bring good luck and happiness to thecouple at a time when their lives are changing, hopefully for thebetter. SURNAMESIt was thought unlucky for a woman to marry a man whosesurname began with the same letter as hers. The sentimentwas summarised in the following rhyme: To change the name and not the letterIs to change for the worst and not the better The bride should not practice writing her new name before thewedding. This is thought to bring bad luck by tempting fate.GETTING THE TIMING RIGHT Although most weddings now take place on a Saturday it wasconsidered unlucky in the past. Fridays were also consideredunlucky particularly Friday the 13th. The famous old rhymeadvises a wedding in the first half of the week: Monday for wealthTuesday for healthWednesday the best day of allThursday for lossesFriday for crossesSaturday for no luck at all
SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW ... Something old, something newSomething borrowed, something blueAnd a silver sixpence in your shoe The rhyme originated in Victorian times although some ofcustoms referred in it are much older. The "something old"represents the couples friends who will hopefully remain closeduring the marriage. Traditionally this was old garter whichgiven to the bride by a happily married woman in the hope
that her happiness in marriage would be passed on to the newbride. "Something new" symbolises the newlyweds' happy andprosperous future. The "something borrowed" is often lent bythe bride's family and is an item much valued by the family.The bride must return the item to ensure good luck. Thecustom of the bride wearing "something blue" originated inancient Israel where the bride wore a blue ribbon in her hair torepresent fidelity. The placing of a silver sixpence in thebride's shoe was to ensure wealth in the couples married life.Today some brides substitute a penny in their shoe during theceremony as silver sixpences are less common. THE WEDDING DRESS It is thought unlucky for the bride to make her own weddingdress and it is also unlucky for the groom to see the bride inher wedding dress until she arrives at the ceremony.It is also considered unlucky for the bride to wear her entireoutfit before the wedding day. Some brides leave a final stichon the dress undone until it is time to leave for the ceremonywhen the outfit is completed. WEDDING DRESS COLOUR Most brides today marry in white which symbolisesmaidenhood. This tradition started by the rich in sixteenthcentury. The tradition was given a boost by Queen Victoriawho chose to marry in white instead of silver which was thetraditional colour of Royal brides. Before the white dressbrides wore their best dress. The colour was a matter ofpreference. The following is a traditional rhyme offering adviceon dress colour: Married in White, you have chosen right,Married in Blue, your love will always be true,Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,Married in Brown, you will live in town,Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,Married in Pink, your spirit will sink,Married in Grey, you will go far away,Married in Black, you will wish yourself back.
THE VEIL Traditionally, brides have been thought to be particularlyvulnerable to evil spirits and many of the customs andtraditions associated with weddings are to provide protection.The veil was originally worn by Roman brides. It was thoughtthat it would disguise the bride and therefore outwitmalevolent spirits. Bridesmaids were dressed in a similar wayto the bride for the same reason. The bridesmaids werethought to act as decoys to confuse evil spirits and thusprotect the bride.;THE COUPLE'S FIRST PURCHASE It is said that the first partner who buys a new item after thewedding will be the dominant one in the relationship. Manybrides ensure that they make the first purchase by arrangingto buy a small item such as a pin from the chief bridesmaidimmediately after the ceremony.

Although hedgehogs are often happy to hibernate in apile of old leaves and twigs, some wildlife enthusiastshave reported success with a constructed wooden boxplus an entrance tunnel, buried under old leaves. Awooden box with a small entrance hole (10-12sq cm or4-5sq in) makes the nest, and a covered tunnel leading
to the entrance helps toprevent foxes and otherpredators from raiding it. A tunnel can easily be madefrom old bricks with a wooden plank laid over them. Youcan then watch hedgehogs come and go from the boxin a known location.

• Ask if there is anything they are unsure orworried about
• Do a trial run of the journey to school if it isdifferent or further than before
• Help your child prepare by getting everything(uniform, stationery, money, etc) ready the nightbefore; encourage them to take responsibility andorganise themselves
