11th March 2012





11th March 2012.

Dear All,

We didn’t travel very far this Monday as I had an X-Ray on my foot at Hinchingbrooke but we managed to explore Huntingdon, Houghton Garden Centre and Houghton village.

The Tuesday film was “The Big Sleep” starring Humphrey Bogart, a 1946 B&W adaptation of a Raymond Chandler novel. It was excellent and cracked along at an impressive pace.


Kate and I attended a seminar at Eden chapel, Cambridge on Wednesday on “The Doctrine of God” by Mike Reeves from UCCF. It was a bit heavy! In the afternoon my Art Appreciation class resumed after a months absence studying Caravaggio and El Greco.
The Thursday walk started at Godmanchester and circled via the Hemingfords, St Ives and Houghton. It was 11 miles but not too bad as it was flat and there were no ploughed fields to traverse.

The change back to cooler weather slowed down gardening activities apart from digging so I have been working on updating one of my Garden Club talks and preparing some talks for Moldova.
We did a recce round Over Fen yesterday as we are leading a church walk today. There were swans, a new badger set and new born calves as well as plenty of other birds.
I watched Over held to a 1 v 1 draw by Cottenham yesterday – the first points they have dropped since the new manager took over.
No letter next week as we are due to fly out to Austria with Graham and Mary tomorrow.


love

Mike & Kate
