Why out of town location is perfect for Elgin business cashing in on town's housing boom
The owner of popular Elgin cafe The Deli, Claire Willox, has seen first hand the housing boom in the town. She believes having out of town premises on Southfield Drive has had major benefits for her firm with free parking, an ever-growing population on the doorstep and nearby businesses for customers. In 2017, she bought the lunch stop with a business partner after more than 30 years in the flooring industry. Later down the line, she took over full ownership. The premises can hold up to 50 people. Claire said: 'Prior to the cafe, I worked in the flooring industry. 'When the opportunity came about to buy The Deli it was to try something completely different and I have really enjoyed it. 'I think it is really good being out of town with the businesses and doctors nearby. 'We get a lot of trade from other businesses and homes at lunchtime. 'The free parking helps too and we are really lucky to have many people walking in by for coffees, cookies and sandwiches.' In recent years, hundreds of homes have been built in the south of Elgin with thousands more still in the pipeline. Claire added: 'It is great for our businesses, with more people moving to Elgin. 'However I do feel it puts pressure on the NHS as well obviously. 'Some people say that nobody wants to live in Elgin, however there are so many new houses getting built. She added: 'I get people coming in who have just moved here and say they love it here. 'Meanwhile, people often come back after visiting too. 'I think we do take the place for granted because we have always been here and it is lovely to stay here.' Claire also holds private events inside The Deli which brings extra income for the business. She said: 'This year my outside catering has been really busy. 'We are closed on Sundays and private events are often held in it then like baby showers, birthday parties and other things. 'We have an alcohol licence as well which opens up different opportunities. 'It is just so great to have a different income stream too.' Meanwhile, she is thinking about getting a catering van to attend events like Highland Games and to provide more space than her car. She said: 'We could get a van because we are doing so much outside catering and there is an opportunity with it. 'It would great to go to the different markets and also promote The Deli shop too which would be good too. 'We will wait and see but it certainly been something popular that many businesses are doing.' She also praised her staff and manager Kirsten Hendry for making the Deli a friendly and inviting place for people. The Deli is open 9am to 4pm from Monday to Saturday every week. All meals are made to order from fresh and locally sourced produce.

Wivenhoe Art Trail presenting colourful variety of work returns this weekend
A COLOURFUL and unique art trail that 'put Wivenhoe on the map' is returning to the town for a special bank holiday weekend. Twice a year in Wivenhoe, the resident artists who spend months quietly creating in their studios throw open their doors to the public. The art trail consists of around 20 venues and around 40 artists showing off everything from photography, sculptures, fine art, prints, jewellery, and ceramics. The event creates such a buzz, with hundreds of people specially visiting the town from as far as Kent and Norwich, that cafés experience queues out the door and the Deli has run out of food. Alison Stockmarr, 62, is one of the original trail organisers and enjoys showing her collage works to visitors throughout the weekend. Artist - Alison Stockmarr is one of the trail's organisers (Image: Newsquest) She said: 'I think a lot of people in Wivenhoe are quite proud of having such a creative event happening twice a year right on their doorstep. 'The art trail always shows the work of regular favourites and emerging new talent. 'The community here is just great – we all come together, we're there all year in our studios trotting away at things, and then it's lovely to welcome people into your studio because the visitors give us so much back. 'It's a lovely excuse to nose around artists' studios and getting that little bit closer to how something is made is really important.' Stop number 10 on the trail, St Mary's Churchyard, features art from local primary school children at Broomgrove Infant School and Millfields Primary School. Art - The local school children get involved with the art trail each year (Image: Newsquest) Alison said: 'We're passionate about encouraging the next generation by providing both the schools with the resources to do their artwork to hang in the churchyard. 'They always get the feeling of being treated like proper artists with their destination on the map and each class having a theme—it's nice for them to be proud of and part of.' The art trail's map leads visitors through artists' studios, the town business centre, to the historic Nottage Institute, and many more charming spots on one of Essex's most picturesque towns. This weekend, Wivenhoe Art Trail will take place from 10am to 5pm from Friday to Monday, in the trail's longest weekend ever. More information can be found at

Aldi discontinues popular deli snack in 100 supermarkets as shoppers sob ‘please bring them back'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALDI has discontinued a popular deli snack in supermarkets and it's left shoppers devastated. The German discounter has dropped Deli Smoked Pork Sausage and Deli Smoked Reduced Fat Pork Sausage 160g packs from many of its shelves. 2 Aldi has discontinued its Deli smoked reduced fat pork sausages Credit: ALDI 2 The discounter has also discontinued its regular packs from shelves too Credit: ALDI The retailer confirmed they were axed from around 100 of its branches. News that the sausages, which Aldi says are perfect with pasta, wraps and rice, have been discontinued has not been met well by shoppers. One posted on X saying: "What happened to these man. Just disappeared off the shelves. "Please bring them back, I'm on my knees." It's not the first product Aldi has discontinued in recent months, to shoppers' disappointment. The discounter confirmed it had dropped a popular Olaplex dupe that was £24 cheaper than the real thing last month. In February, shoppers' favourite £2.99 Liz Earle beauty dupe was pulled from shelves. The discounter has stopped making the hot cloth cleanser which many said was similar to Liz Earle's £30 Cleanse and Polish cleanser. Aldi actually discontinued the product last spring, but some shoppers only started realising last month. It also axed its popular Very Berry Muesli in February, which had been missing from supermarket shelves. Which chocolate bars have been discontinued in the UK? It's worth bearing in mind though that retailers often discontinue products based on customer demand and sales. SAVE MONEY AT ALDI Keep an eye out for products with red stickers on them at Aldi. These are added to items that have been reduced due to them being close to their best before date or slightly damaged. The best time to get these reduced products is towards the end of the day, when you can get discounts worth up to 75%. Aldi shoppers can pick up Too Good to Go bags of fresh food worth £10 for £3.30 too. You can pick them up in stores but there are only a limited amount each day. Aldi also offers cheap fruit and veg as part of its Everyday Essentials range, including discounted wonky bundles. You can grab a wonky 1.5kg bag of carrots for 60p and a pack of wonky grapes for £1.49 in branches. Keep an eye on the middle aisle shelves of your local Aldi branch too - the discounter is often flogging quirky and discounted stuff there. Shoppers recently saw 300g pouches of Quality Street selling for 49p instead of £1.99 at one branch. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

New iPad Offers 3 Months Of Something Called Apple Deli+
CHICAGO—Unsure what to make of the perk that came bundled with his recently purchased device, area man David Halstead reported Tuesday that his new iPad offered three months of something called Apple Deli+. 'I just linked my iPad up to my Apple ID, and apparently my Meat Pass has been activated and I've been enrolled in whatever Apple Deli+ is until April,' a bewildered Halstead said as he warily pressed the Deli icon on his iPad's home screen and his finger hesitated for just a moment over the app's minimalist rendering of a sliced deli ham. 'Huh. According to this, my Apple Deli+ membership includes 24/7 access to Apple's sandwich geniuses as well as 250 'salami points.' They've somehow already logged the prosciutto caprese I got for lunch, even though I wasn't signed in yet. I guess the Find My Cold Cuts feature could be useful. And wow, they have a mustard in rose gold that's actually really pretty. I still don't know if I like being locked into the Apple meat ecosystem, but maybe 90 free days of this could be cool if I can figure out how to get some dill pickles and tuna salad out of it.' Sources confirmed that by the end of the day, Halstead had already forgotten about the recurring $12 charge that he will continue paying each month for the rest of his life.
