Dear All,
Early letter this week as Kate and I are off walking in the Cotswolds tomorrow until Wednesday.
Last week I had an RHS trip to Preston near Hull to visit a tomato breeder who is trying to include blight resistance in outdoor varieties – he had 150 varieties in large pots and an indoor glasshouse demonstration.

I had another RHS appointment near Wisley on Tuesday so we stayed with Mary-Ann and Andy on Monday night and Kate was able to demonstrate grandmother skills while I was inspecting chard and runner beans.

Guess who?
Chard range
Chard trial
Tozer’s Runner Bean trial
Swimming and gardening on Wednesday and a good walk on Thursday starting at Guilden Morden. It was sunny for a change but involved a ploughed field or two as the farmers were well on with only an odd field to combine. The walk was followed by pitch preparation and a net session so I slept fairly well!
Alpaca’s on Thursday’s walk
I was helping my ex colleague Andy harvesting runner bean trials on Friday and this morning I was judging Bottisham show where I met another ex colleage Mike Corbett who asked after my children. The show standard was not very high so was fairly easy to judge.
