Cake Competition and Craft Fayre; In Aid of the RAF Benevolent Fund

Starting the day with enthusiasm despite the growing grey sky above!

At the Lossiemouth Community Centre on Sunday the 14th of May, Crafters from over the moray area attended the event their stalls set up within one of the sports halls at the high school. From Soap to handmade silver jewellery there was a large variety of crafts.


Many cakes and bakes were donated to help with fundraising. They also had a small tent outside and next to it was the hot food stall where a hog roast was done from 11 onwards for the day. The event ended at 1.

As the day went on it brightened supplying periods of the radiant sun which were intermittent between torrential rain.

Many of the crafters had been crafting for over 3 to 4 years. Their skills honed and true to their craft.

Shark Bait and Sprocket was a crafter that had only started collecting the and using the sea glass and sea pottery to create beautiful pieces of art just last year. And for such a short time with the trade, they have been not just innovative, recycling and cleaning up the beaches but also resourceful in beginning their new venture. Ecofriendly, recycling sea glass into stunning work aiding Beach Clean in keeping the beaches clean.

Another new crafter is Sweetpea Prints, creating treasures and keepsakes for people using her own unique style.
".. handcrafted by me and totally unique to you"
Aircraft engineer turned artistic crafter has created a line of unique pieces of jewellery that she handcrafts out of silver.

Craftilicious Claire, her diverse range of products appeal to not only the younger generation but also has quite a lot for the whole age range. I found much of her produce refreshing especially while browsing her website, as one product caught my eye as it was practical, creative and in all the time I had been to craft fairs I had never seen anything like this. And on top of doing private orders, she also does craft workshops.

I believe that one person who attended the event would be more of an artist then crafter, his work beautiful and true to the artist's original vision but still in his own pen style. Creating pieces of fan art and is able to commissions. Mac's Fan Art

Up until 3 months ago was a chemist, now she's creating a soap that not only looks good but does good. Apothecary's Garden grows her ingredients and makes the soap that is beneficial to skin. Such as ingredients like Aleo Vera, Charcoal and herbs.

By mid way through the event, a flock of people came out with the sunshine perusing and having fun at the community centre in Lossiemouth.

Thank you also, everyone, who allowed me to use their pictures of produce and pictures of the event to aid in this article.

A Little Taste of Home; Hidden Gem of Helston

Helston park - One of the local swans From being sold out of their set, three course meal to having delicious drinks. This small corner cafe, next to two of the best charity shops I have ever been in, is certainly a hidden gem within Helston. No names or location will be within this article as it was a magical experience to wander upon this cafe and have a great meal. It was unexpected and a lovely atmosphere. The set meals varied but all were well presented when it appeared from the kitchen from the waitressing to the food arrangement. The roast turkey was succulent, the gravy was subtle and not overwhelming the dish. The roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. the vegetables were clearly boiled, the carrots were kept sightly al dente, the green beans were soft and appetising. The starter soup was extremely filling, thick and well presented, served with two triangle slices of bread. The main course was filling, the flavours were consistent and ...

Helston Holiday central in Cornwall?

Home to a military Base; Culdrose, it is considered to be a picture perfect town where tourists strive to visit. From petite petaled' flowers in hanging baskets to its ideal location, just a stones throw away from a gorgeous little beach Loe Bar. The golden Sands are soft and light, great for a picnic for a family day out or a challenging running ground for low impact training and exercise.  The views are lovely for pictures, whether you are an avid photographer or take the odd pic for the album; the sea air and scenery have a pleasing atmosphere. Paths used for cycling, walking,  running, riding and all manner of activities honeycomb the woods and landscape providing tracks of many different difficulties for every sort of person. Not to mention a quaint cafe situated near, by-secting paths that will take the weary adventurer to beach, Porthleven, Helston or off on a new wild adventure. The cafe is dog friendly, bike friendly and have a wide selection of food a...

Moray Buses Last Choice for Locals?

Is this down to careless managers or carefree drivers? With prices on the rise, how can the bus station justify the tardiness of their vehicles? The people needing or relying on the transport available, arriving only to find delay or cancellation impeach ingredients work or adjoining services. Although only mentioned recently the buses have been in a down spiral for months going on years. From missing people out when late and not stopping to not turning up at all. On countless occasions, the bus has failed to pull through. You hurry for a bus and what do you get? Sore legs standing and waiting. With many people relying on their services why is there no emphasis on their schedules to be on time? With all the rage it is not always there fault. Many times when on the buses with the baggage areas below and the steps, it can take them up to 25 minutes to help a wheelchaired passenger on. Perhaps they are out of practice or perhaps it is the old machinery installed in the bus. ...
