16th October 2011








16th October 2011.

Dear All,

It has been a busy week involving work, U3A, family and church activities.
Work wise I have started the new Gardening Which project and reviewed 9 of the 10 books I have report on. Would you rather have a book with technical illustrations or one full of photos of Alan, Alys or Carol sniffing a rose or carrying a flower pot?
I have also put time in on the Riverford project as it was the Brassica open days in Lincolnshire on Wednesday which I was covering for them: 6 seed companies and 132 photos! I now have to prepare final recommendations for them for next year.

The U3A term began this week (walking never stops) I have joined “Renaissance Art Appreciation” but had to miss the first session as I was at the open days. I have also joined the Film Club and watched “East of Eden” starring James Dean who was probably the No.1 heartthrob when most of the audience were that age!
Out Thursday walk met at Borough Green in race horse territory near Newmarket and proceeded via Brinkley, Western Colville and West Wratting. It was sunny all the way but we kept thinking this might be the last serious sunshine we will see this year.

Kate and I travelled to Hutton on Friday. Kate was busy with curtains while I was erecting curtain rails and installing wooden blinds plus a bit of gardening. In the evening we were helping with the Youth club as it was a session on Moldova with John Law.

I watched Over beating Chatteris yesterday and met Kevin Carpenter who was asking after Mary-Ann and Ben – he is now a postman in Chatteris. I was watching with Bill Wilson who still reminisces about Ben’s performances while watching Daniel (I taught him all he knows!) Ivett.
Today our Church group were responsible for the Family Service which went OK after a few teething problems and this afternoon we have been to Anglesey Abbey with Bob and Carol to admire their spectrum of dahlias.
