19th August 2012.
Dear All,
It was the annual chapel seaside trip yesterday and we actually managed to visit Hunstanton on a hot day – something that I can only recall happening once before! There were about 30 of us this year. We usually hire a church hall but that was not possible this year as the Beach Mission was using it, instead we managed to hire the basement kitchen area of the Town Hall and this proved excellent, as it was close to the front and about the right size.

Shouldn’t the sea be blue?

The sea was its usual brown Windsor soup colour and a good hike from the shore but good enough for paddling even though to swim you would need the triathelon discipline i.e. a long run or bike ride beforehand.
I was 4th (i.e. last) in the annual Pitch and Putt contest. We had the course virtually to ourselves as it was too hot for most non-dedicated players. On the way back we stopped at Sutton for a BBQ and again the weather was just about the right temperature.

BBQ at Sutton
Our last midweek chapel cricket match against St Neots Methodists resulted in another victory so preserving our 100% record (covering 4 matches! – 5 rained off). On Thursday I spent nearly 2 hours preparing the wicket for Saturday when the opposition rang up and cancelled. Over 2nds also have a 100% record with one match to play.
We travelled to Godalming on Tuesday afternoon to look after Amélie on Wednesday. She is now walking very well and has turned her back on crawling! We visited Wisley as I had missed the last assessment meeting looking at Basil, Parsley and tomatoes.
Piece of cake this walking
Basil trial
Phlox trial
Ben finally had an X-Ray and has broken his shoulder as well as ribs. As it has been 3-4 weeks not being held in position it has not healed well and may need pinning. Kate has written to Hinchingbrooke Hospital complaining that they did not diagnose the break when he was examined.
Our walk on Thursday started at Cottered near Buntingford and was enjoyable but the pub had 3 walking groups booked in so was heaving.
