13th September 2009.
Dear All,
Three days at work again this week – how long can this go on? These included two open days, Sweet corn at NIAB on Tuesday and Salads near Chichester on Thursday. We stayed overnight in Havant and ate in the yachting haven of Emsworth. Thursday in Sussex was a nice sunny day so it was quite enjoyable even though the plots were not as mature as we would have liked.

I was sent a complimentary copy of the revised “Oxford Book of Food Plants” this week as I helped with the text – look out for this international best seller in your local bookstore!

We had to prepare two cricket pitches this week as the juniors had their end of season exhibition matches and awards presentations. I have also ordered 60 bags of Ongar loam which is the recommended soil for winter pitch repairs and renovation.
Kate and I went to the Over Players presentation of “Caught in the Net” on Friday; it is a Ray Cooney farce and was very funny – especially when they forgot their lines.
On Saturday I judged Shelford Produce Show. The fruit and veg entries were not spectacular but they have several innovative classes of crafts, miniature gardens and amusing animals made out of veg.

Kate has been to a “Pain Symposium” so will be able to understand how you are all feeling.
