12th June 2011.
Dear All,
Not too much to report this week as I have been writing up the Garden Which project for quite a bit of the week. I have finished assessments and written up the initial 10 targets but Which have now added another so I cannot finish it off just yet.
Rain at last, so the garden is beginning to pull round and we do not have to spent large sections of each evening watering. I have also sown some late crops including fennel, cauliflowers, lettuce and leeks and harvested early onions and garlic.
I opted for the shorter walk on Thursday as the longer one was 12 miles and I had a cricket pitch to prepare that evening. We started at Arrington via Croydon and through the Wimpole Hall estate. It was a decent walk; numbers were down as Philip is leading an expedition to the Western Isles for 18 of our number.

Kate and I helped with the Youth club on Friday night. It was “Superstars” and a bit like rolling back the years: pegs on a line, golf target, darts challenge, crisp idents, horn blowing, wooden puzzle, peas on a straw and bucket ball.
We had a fund raising CEEM Strawberry Tea and Concert at Buckden last night at the home of Angela Single who heads the MOLD – Medical team. The concert was given by the “Spiritual Concept band” who were set up by Jimmy Mac a coloured guy who acts on TV and visited Moldova last year causing a mild sensation as most folk in the villages had not seen a coloured man before!
We received some encouraging photos of the new tunnel for which left money to set up on our recent visit – somethings get sorted quickly if you get the right person and the right project.
New Moldovan Tunnel
We have “Pentecost Praise” today a “Christians in Over” joint event in the Community Centre, so it will be interesting to see how many turn up as it is pouring with rain at present.
love
