Even in the summer scarves and accessories make such a difference to an outfit. Worth looking at are the lovely pastel scarves starting at £6 at Livvy's Dress for Less Ainsdale (Opposite Railway Pub)..

If that exhausts you treat yourself to a snack at The Mousetrap which is on Liverpool road Ainsdale. I had the most delicious Lobster Bisque and my friend had a real traditional Welsh Rarebit, both scrumptious!

I have had many e-mails from people having difficulty in finding the product I had been so excited about recently. Sooo this is the full brand name and it is available in an eyecatching yellow pot in Morrison's @ 99p. Its lovely spread on bread to add a zing to sandwiches, another idea is to add it to stir fry veg.

My family have just come back from holidaying in Spain full of excitement about a garlicy creamy dip that appeared on every menu there. It was served over boiled potatoes, with salads, and in numerous other dishes.
Imagine their surprise when in their fridge I had hidden the very same pot of aioli which is on sale in Morrison's at 99p.
It is worthwhile trying a pot, I have tossed new potatoes in some and then roasted them in the oven, delicious.
