Here’s a brief run down of some events taking place

over the next couple of months. The Crail Festival (page 11) takes place from the 17- 27th July, fol-

lowed by the Pittenweem Arts Festival (page 26) from 3rd - 11th August. See their adverts for more information as both have a host

of activities planned for the whole family. The Scottish Blood Transfusion Service are in Crail at the Community Hall on Thursday 8th August

between 4pm - 8pm. Blood stocks generally dip during the summer months so if you can spare an

hour please go along and Give Blood (page 31). Anstruther Muster takes place 9 - 11th August.

Just before the Lammas Market in St Andrews between the 9 - 13th August. By which time the

children will be getting ready to go back to school and we’ll wonder where the summer has gone!

Ready in 35 minutes, plus cooling Serves 8

These shortcakes are perfect for a speedy

summer dessert. They take just minutes to

make and bake and can be filled with

whatever seasonal fruit you have to hand.

Here they are filled with a rich and sweet

mascarpone cream with juicy peaches and

fresh raspberries but a simple dollop of

extra thick cream and some sliced

strawberries will be just as impressive.

Ingredients:

• 175g self-raising flour

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 75g butter, chilled and diced

• 55g caster sugar, plus extra for

sprinkling

• 1 large egg, beaten

• 1 tbsp milk

Filling

• 125g mascarpone cheese

• 2 tbsp icing sugar

• 6 tbsp single cream

• 175g fresh raspberries

• 2 ripe peaches, stoned and sliced

Tip

The shortcakes can be made a day in

advance and stored in an airtight

container. Fill with the cream and fruit

1-2 hours before serving.

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.

Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

Sift the flour and baking powder into a large

bowl. Add the diced butter and rub into the flour

with your fingertips until the mixture resembles

fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar then add the

beaten egg and milk and mix to a soft dough.

Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface and roll out to a 1cm thickness. Using an 8cm round

cookie cutter stamp out 8 rounds, gently re-

rolling the trimmings as necessary. Place on the

prepared baking sheet, prick the top of each

round lightly with a fork then sprinkle with a little

caster sugar.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or

until risen and pale golden. Carefully transfer to a

wire rack and leave to cool completely.

To make the filling, beat the mascarpone cheese

with the icing sugar and cream until smooth.

Push half the raspberries through a fine-holed

sieve to make a puree.

Slice each shortcake in half horizontally and top

the bottom halves with the cream mixture, peach

slices and remaining raspberries. Drizzle over the

raspberry puree and top with remaining

shortcake halves.

At the southern end of the Lesser Antilles, in the Caribbean

islands, St Lucia is just a drop in the ocean, 27 by 14 miles, with spectacular mountains, lush rainforest and fertile valleys

fringed by sandy beaches. Tossed 14 times between French and English colonial powers, the island has thrown both cultures into the melting

pot with a generous helping of African folklore, a little East Indian spice and vestiges of early Amerindian settlers. English is the official language

but Creole, a mix of African dialects and French, is coming back, in tune with the stirring

rhythm of reggae and calypso.

St Lucia is tourist-hungry but eco-friendly and most developments have been limited to the north-west around Rodney Bay. There are

fine sands and palm trees, a gleaming marina and out on the hilly peninsula, known as Pigeon Island, fabulous views

over the shimmering Caribbean Sea on one side and foaming Atlantic breakers on the other. Pleasure boats sail along the coast looking out for sunfish,

dolphins and whales, past the lovely Marigot Bay featured in Dr Doolittle, the fabulous diving sites, hidden coves and sleepy

villages strung with fishing nets and laundry drying on the

beach. On a Friday night, when the beat of Afro-Caribbean steel bands echo along the shore, the village of Anse la Raye stages a

gigantic fish fry al fresco, a lively family event where all sorts of delicacies bubble in the pots or sizzle in the pans - seafood, sweet potatoes, corn on the

cob, rice, callaloo soup and more. The national dish is salt fish with green bananas, but equally popular is the fiery pepperpot cooked in cassava

juice.

Soufrière, the old capital, nestles below the luxuriant volcanic cones of the Pitons, seen on

every postcard, but few visitors linger in town. The world’s only ‘drive-in volcano’ is just a stone’s throw away, seething with sulphurous fumes and

gurgling mud, and there are Botanical Gardens with mineral springs, tropical blooms and a stunning Diamond Fall gushing

down multi-coloured rocks. To the north, the new capital, Castries, is famed for its Jazz Festival and duty-free malls, gleaming with Colombian

emeralds and Amerindian craft, but the old town retains a quaint colonial charm. The cathedral has stunning murals

and stained glass, designed by Nobel-prize artist Dunstan St

Omer, no doubt a source of inspiration for myriad craftsmen and painters who have set up home on the nearby Hill of

Good Luck.

Climbing the Pitons is strictly for the brave but there are easier treks through the hills and rainforest with jeep safaris

heading for remote hamlets, banana plantations and Creole farms fragrant with cinnamon and nutmeg. There may be time to taste cassava bread, bathe in

a waterfall and bargain for bird ornaments carved out of coconut shells. At over 3000 feet, Mount Gimmie, the highest

peak, rises above it all but views can be enjoyed with no effort at all in the eight-seater gondola offering an expensive but popular ‘sky ride’. There you

glide up a hillside, skimming the tree tops, gazing at incense and fern trees, breadnut, blue maho and heliconia, spotting

hummingbirds, butterflies, mongoose and tarantulas dangling inches from your face. Rolling farmlands stretch into the distance, sprinkled with

villages where the occasional beat of a Creole drum seems to touch the very heart of this

varied and scenic island.

There’s a really reliable, easy,

low-cost and low-effort way

to add some zing to your

meals; home-grown herbs.

Many herbs are simple to

raise from seed and if you

start sowing now you should

be able to have a plentiful

supply of fresh, tasty herbs to

add to salads, sandwiches,

stews and stir-fries for months

to come. All you need to is a

sunny window sill or balcony,

or a well-drained, sunny spot

in your garden.

First, find some good quality

multi-purpose compost, your

chosen herb seeds and some

pots. Good-qual ity compost is

well worth the little bit extra

you need to pay. The style of

pot is up to you – you may

want to choose a classic Medi-

terranean one, or perhaps a

good-looking plastic planter

for longevity and light-weight

characteristics. Remember

that plenty of drainage is es-

sential, and that the smaller

herbs do not need a deep

root run, so there’s no need

for a very tall planter or pot.

It’s best to grow each type of

herb in its own individual pot,

so buy a selection of pots with

a minimum diameter of 8cm.

Once you have your pot to

hand, put a broken flower pot

or other drainage material in

the base and then fill with

good quality compost to

within 1cm of the rim of the

pot and firm it down, not too

aggressively, but enough to

ensure that there’s no subsi-

dence later on. With large

seeds such as coriander, posi-

tion the seeds evenly on the

compost surface. Sprinkle

smaller seed thinly. The seeds

need to be covered with com-

post so use your finger or a

dibber to gently press the

seed in to the very surface of

the compost and then drizz le

more compost on top to the

depth stated on the packet of

seed. Water the compost

thoroughly either from above

using a watering can with

rose attached, or by standing

the pot in a saucer of water

for a few minutes until the

compost surface is just moist.

The seeds generally germi-

nate quite quickly and often

within just a week or two

you’ll have lots of tiny herbs.

Once the herbs are up and

growing strongly you can

start to harvest them. Use

sharp scissors or a sharp knife

to cut off what you need; this

way you’l l minimise damage

to the growing plants and so

help to keep them cropping

for longer. As long as you

keep the pots adequately

watered, ideally by watering

from the base, they should

last for several weeks or

months but make sure that

the compost is not too wet or

else your herb pots won’t last

long. If you find that you’re

not eating them fast enough,

store some for later use. Ice

cubes give you a re ally great

fresh-herb taste off-season.

Just half fill ice-cube tray sec-

tions with water. Add

chopped fresh herbs to each

section and top up with wa-

ter. Label the tray as they can

be difficult to identify. You

can then simply pop them

whole into stews and casse-

roles as and when you need

them.

Are the feet silky smooth

when we slip them into

flip-flops? Don't worry a

pedicure at Jennifer's will

have you walking on air.

This extremely relaxing

treatment includes the re-

moval of hard skin, cuticles

are tidied and toenails are

trimmed and shaped. This

is followed by a wonderful

massage of the lower legs

and feet, this stimulates

blood and lymphatic flow,

keeping the feet hydrated,

soft and smooth.

I cannot over emphasise

the benefits of healthy feet

and nails. How we walk

impacts on the joints in the

knees, hips and back, so

lets take good care of our

feet.

What is gel polish? this evo-

lution in technology pro-

tects the natural nail, offer-

ing weak, bitten or problem

nails the opportunity to

grow.

A manicure that lasts 2

weeks, sounds too good to

be true? Not any more.

Geleration gives you

strong, high gloss nails

without chips or flakes for 2

weeks. And there is one

more advantage to Gel

nails - they dry instantly.

Wow! No more flip-flops on

a cold wet day. There are

many ways Jennifer's can

have you looking and feel-

ing great this summer.

The Fly ladyThe Fly lady

Did life happen and your

dreams get put on the back burning? This has occurred to

most of us. We have all heard that procrastination is the thief

of time. I don't think that is en-tirely the case. Time is constant;

we all have the same hours in every single day, it is how we choose to use those hours that

steals the time. We all seem to think that things will take longer

than they really will, so we talk ourselves out of doing them.

Just what have you been pro-crastinating about lately: Laun-

dry, getting the car washed or is it something much deeper than

household chores?

Have you gotten in a rut? Not a bad rut; but let's say a comfort-able rut. You know the same ole

same ole! You go through your day without any thought about

your passion. Passion: What is that anyway?

When procrastination gets in

the way of your passion; it be-comes an excuse to not follow

your dreams. We have all said it in some form or fashion, "I don't have time to go back to school

and finish my degree". This "I don't have time" attitude gives

us the excuse to not be or do what we were put on Earth to

do with our lives. You are rob-bing yourself of you! Not to

mention what you are robbing

the world of: YOU!

When your heart is not in what you are doing then nothing will

ever make you happy! It doesn't matter if you make all the

money in the world, if it doesn't make you happy it means noth-ing. Happiness comes from

within. This is what FLYing is all about. Finally Loving Yourself

enough to know that for some reason you are not happy. You

thought getting the house clean was all it would take to make

you happy.

As you learn the FlyLady way of breaking things down into

babysteps; you will find the right path that is going to lead you to true happiness. This hap-

piness starts by letting go of procrastination and perfection-

ism.

I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. For years I

was a bookkeeper, then I taught Fly Fishing. I was not fulfilling

my destiny because I still had an empty hole to fill. Nothing would fill up this hole; spending

money, relationships, food or anything else I used to keep me

in my rut.

You see; ruts keep you in a path that is not your choosing. Be-

cause it is so hard to get out of

the rut, it is just easier to con-tinue on this sidetracked jour-

ney. I can hear you now, "but I did choose my path!" Did you

really or did circumstances just put you in this position.

Some people never get out of their ruts of procrastination. It

involves too much change. When we allow our routines to

take over the maintenance of our home and we are on auto-

matic pilot then we are freed up to follow our dreams one

babystep at a time.

It was only after I got rid of my clutter and found my routines

that my purpose for living was revealed to me. Open up your hearts by taking care of the

things you have been putting off till later. Later is a lie that

never happens unless you set your mind to clearing out your

mind clutter! That is all procras-tination really is!

For help getting rid of your CHAOS,

mentoring group at www.FlyLady.net or her book, Sink Reflections published

by Random House and her New York

Times Best Selling book, Body Clutter
