The happy pigs of Adsdean farm

We caught up with Enwezor Nzegwu who runs Be Locals, supplying meat and produce from local farms for people who live locally. Every Thursday morning Enwezor shared an update on what's available so if you order by 8 pm, he can deliver the products to you by Saturday. You can imagine how fresh everything is!

Sometimes I forget that my customers don't get to see what it's really like on the farms that I visit every week when I pick up produce for Be Locals. This is a picture of Tim's farm. It's been in his family for over 70 years. To me, the farm seems enormous but Tim says it's not that big. As for livestock, Tim has these lovely pigs and cattle also growing arable produce like wheat.

Tim's cattle out in the fields

You'll see Tim's cattle roaming in the fields all through the year. They always stick together in a herd in one part of the field and they'll nearly always come up to you if you come up to the fence. This is where Tim's beef comes from and what's really great about buying meat from Be Locals is that you know exactly where it has come from. It's just simple and easy to understand which I love.

Some of the farm buildings

I tend to park at the farm at around 7.30 in the morning and then go for a run in the hills in the woods for an hour and a half with a friend before deliveries. It really is a beautiful farm and the first time I saw it, I thought it looked absolutely fantastic and it is! The Hairy Bikers even did a show here once!

Be Locals order by 8pm, for delivery on Saturday!

Delicious thinly sliced pork in Korean marinade

Sometimes you found a recipe and wrote it down on a piece of paper to try it out. Having done that, you forget where the recipe came from. Likewise this Korean recipe for pork, which turned out to be so delicious we have cooked it for everyone. The marinade is simple to make and yet really packed with flavours. For the Korean marinade you need 3 garlic cloves 1/2 brown onion 1/2 a pear or apple Blitz these ingredients together and then add 5 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman) 3 tablespoons caster sugar 2 tablespoons sesame oil 3 tablespoons mirin black pepper For dinner for 2 people, 200g pork tenderloin is enough. Slice this thinly, and bash it to an even thinner piece with a meat mallet. Marinade in the sauce and leave it in the fridge for an hour. Then heat a frying pan on medium heat with a teaspoon of vegetable oil and fry the thin pork pieces until browned. You want some of the edges of the meat to be dark brown and caramelised, if you can. Don't cook too many pieces or

‘Southsea dinosaur’ returns

Luna Park 2021, an eagerly anticipated new public artwork for Portsmouth designed by internationally renowned artists Ivan Morison and Heather Peak of Studio Morison will be launched on 2 October 2021 on a celebratory day in Southsea Common. The 1.4 metres bronze sculpture is a tribute to the original 53-foot high 2010 artwork Luna Park, which tragically burned down on Southsea Common. The artists will unveil a new sculpture that responds to ten years of public demand to ‘bring back the Southsea Dinosaur’. The new public artwork will be located within a direct sightline to the position of the original Luna Park sculpture. It will sit on top of a fossil Portland stone plinth with a QR code which when scanned with a smartphone will connect to an Augmented Reality experience. People will be transported to a digital rendering of the original artwork, seemingly standing life-size in front of them on Southsea Common. Viewers will also be able to use their mobile devices to visit a digital
