We’ve been at it again, trying to use up some of the scores of apples we still have left. This time it’s in the form of Minted Apple Chutney, which happily uses up the apple mint currently going bonkers in the potager. We have loads, so don’t be shy about asking for a jar if you’re staying with us anytime soon!

This one, an apple cake, is a Mary Berry recipe and comes via our good neighbours, Andrew and Steve. Come and stay with us now and you can have as many apples as you like to try out your own favourites!

It’s hard work making sure our cottages are not only as spotlessly clean as always but also as safe as possible during these trying times, so after a very busy weekend, we feel justified in sampling a strawberry gin fizz, made with Antony’s home made strawberry gin and the same Prosecco that welcomes guests to Kilmichael.
