Dear All,
A new experience this week, after my “Geodydssey” class I was asked to do a talk at the Senior Citizens club at the Community Centre in Chesterton. I was not sure what to expect but most were on the ball and asked intelligent questions. It must have gone OK as I already have another booking for another similar club in Cambridge.
Monday night was Over Cricket Club AGM, the club is going through a transition having lost several senior players mostly by moving away but there are some excellent youngsters and the club has been running 4 colts teams. We are unique in the whole county by having a lady chairman; she does an excellent job so no complaints.
I was at Wisley again on Wednesday and for once both journeys were trouble free. We were judging autumn cauliflowers and checking leeks but the main purpose was to hear about some rearrangements at the RHS. It used to be the only organisation that I attended that never worried about money but that is changing at present. As we were early we had quite a good look round before the meeting. The new glasshouse is settling down quite nicely and autumn colours were still hanging on.

Our Thursday ramble started at Longstowe and progressed via Kingston and Caldecote to Bourne (of clinic fame) returning to Longstowe, 9.7 miles according to those with hand held sat navs!
On Friday I wrote next month’s Gardening Column, patched the cricket wicket, cleaned and went to Tescos – who says life isn’t full!
Saturday I dug some more garden, planted some more broad beans, watched Over Reserves and went to a party for my friend who recently biked across the States.
We have been out for lunch today and have spoken to Ben who has just had a week in Egypt including climbing Mt Sinai.
No letter for the next two weeks as we hope to be in Cuba from next Saturday.
Love
Mike & Kate
