☀️Today is the last day of the summer season for the Visitor Information Centre.

👋😀We've had another successful year, welcoming many visitors - and locals - providing a friendly face to help them get the most from their stay.

🫖Yesterday, we celebrated with some of the volunteers, enjoying cake and tea together.

There were some lovely stories of people we've met over the summer, from all over the world. And a few stories of some of the more unusual characters and requests! 🤭

🐣The VIC will be back next Easter. Until then, once again, a huge thank you to everyone who has so warmly and generously given their time and knowledge to be part of this voluntary service.

🙏Particular thanks to Janet and Donna for leading the project for the third year.

If you'd like to be involved next year, please email dto@lossietrust.org

🍅Do you ever have a glut of garden produce and would you like some new and exciting ideas for what to do with it all?

🍒Would you like some inspiration for your foraging haul?

🟧Do you love a Co-op orange sticker and want some canny ways to freeze, bake and preserve the bargains?

🥫Make your harvest last longer, your budget go further and your foraging more rewarding with creative ideas from professional foodie, Helen Fitch.

🥧A talk at Marine Park on Thursday 3rd September, 7pm.
From plot to pantry. Clever ideas with excess produce.

Helen and husband Peter are two of the judges at the Lossiemouth Flower Show (Lossie Town Hall, Sunday 19th September).

Following their informative and entertaining talk last year, we have invited them both back to Lossie, and asked Helen to inspire us with her gourmet glut-busting ideas and recipes.

Come with all your questions about using and growing food, between Helen and Peter there's nothing they can't answer!

It's sure to be a fascinating and enlightening talk, perfect for foodies, whether that's growing, baking or simply enjoying!

📅The event is at Marine Park Pavilion, just off Stotfield Road, it is fully accessible. Please arrive from 6.30pm, ready for a 7pm start. Refreshments will be served.

This event is free and open to all. There will be an optional donation bucket at the door, with proceeds towards the Lossiemouth Communal Growing project.
