10th July 2011.
Dear All,
It has been a moderately eventful week in Lake Wobegone. You will all know by now (even Ben!) that Mary-Ann and Andy became proud parents on Tuesday and I have just received a text message informing me that the name is to be Amelie Maya. Kate and I visited them in Guilford Hospital on Wednesday and they were able to go home that afternoon. I believe she is doing all the normal new baby things like feeding, sleeping and crying as well as inducing tiredness in her parents. Kate and I have received several cards and congratulations to which I reply “I don’t think I have done anything much towards the project” and the knowing ones come back with “no – but you will!”

Amelie Maya
Kate is currently with Esther singing in the Albert Hall. Ben flew off to Thailand yesterday where he is meeting a friend and travelling to Cambodia.
Yesterday was Carnival and Show day, I was second again in the veg section (5 x 1st, 6 x 2nd, 6 x 3rd) which saves so much polishing of cups and trophies. I was also judging another show at Barley including not only Fruit & Vegetables but 20 classes of flowers.
Barley Show
The Carnival is a severe strain on the dedicated cricket pitch custodian as hundreds of people walk, sick, eat and drink on the pitches then the odd lorry drives across to round things off.
The chapel had a stand as usual with a quiz and some affordable games.
Our walk this week was local starting at Dry Drayton and proceeding via Bar Hill, Lolworth, Boxworth, and Knapwell. It was actually fairly attractive for north Cambridgeshire.
I have been to 2 BBQs today, this afternoon Kate and Gordon hosted one for Adrian Hart (ex school teacher now gardener) and this evening our neighbours had one for the medics that the daughter works with.
love
