19th June 2011.
Dear All,
Kate had to go to work yesterday so I went with her and then we went on to Saffron Walden and did the “Town Walk” in sunshine and showers. According to a man we chatted to in the coffee shop there are more millionaires in Saffron Walden than any other town in the UK. I am unable to verify this fact but there is little evidence of poverty. Apart from the tour we also visited the church which is the largest parish church in Essex and the Museum. The museum was not large but well stocked and clearly labelled.

Saffron Walden “Town Tour”
Being a zealous groundsman I had cancelled the 2ndXI match on the Green by 8.30 am but the 1sts were playing Audley End in front of the stately home – a very impressive setting. They nearly finished but were eventually rained off.
Cricket at Audley End
I was in our greenhouse when the heavens opened with accompanying thunder and lightening – easily the most rain we have seen this year.
Our walk on Thursday was in the flat fens starting at Haddenham via Witchford and Wilburton. There was the usual mixture of crops: mostly thin, some normal height and a linseed crop with a few rows on flower and the rest just emerging.
Otherwise in the evenings I have written a Gardening article, attended an Events committee, a youth committee and listened to a man talking about outreach to Muslims in Bradford. Day time has been taken up with preparing cricket pitches and gardening.
love
Mike & Kate
