11th January 2009.
Dear All,
Almost back to normal after the holidays but the cold weather and continued local sick list have coloured things somewhat. The main event this week has been the chapel New Year Social. Kate, as ever, was in charge of the catering, not so many this year due to the sick list but still a reasonable undertaking for 40.
Menu:
Escallops de melon avec la sauce ginger
Le roast bouef avec pudding de Yorkshire
Le petit pois avec le grand chou
Les Carrottes julienne
Pastinaca avec beurre
Le gravy avec vin rouge de bon marche
Choice of dix puddings
Fromage avec les biscuits
Café au lait, sens lait ou le the
Anyway it was excellent. I produced a power point review of the year which took me most of the week and there were divers other entertainments.
Monday we had an extra “Geodyssey” lecture this time on gold and diamonds, Tuesday at work I wrote a New Year Newsletter and on Wednesday we had a planning meeting I Peterborough Tescos for the next trip to Moldova. We should have been there this time last January you will remember but spent 8 hours in Luton Airport waiting for a plane that was snow bound in Bucharest.

Incidentally the lady from the Foreign Office that we met at Colin’s party contacted me this week, the British ambassador from Moldova is in London this week and she would like to give him more information of our activities. I went to check on the Fen Skating on Wednesday on the way to Peterborough. The washes between Somersham and Earith froze sufficiently for skating practice this week but each time they planned to hold the championships there was a slight thaw so I don’t think they have taken place so far.

Earith Skating (ex me and the Guardian)
Our walk on Thursday started at Reed near Royston and progressed via Therfield and Buckland. There was more snow south of Cambridge than here so the fields were photogenic (but I forgot the camera!)
The Kitsons had a pedometer for Christmas and are trying to achieve 10,000 steps per day so we helped by walking them round Over fen this afternoon.
There were only 13 hardy folk out for this evenings service which was rather discouraging but illness, old age, other commitments, apathy etc all play a part I guess.
Love
Mike & Kate
