Dear All,
It was our turn at Godalming this week for the arduous task of Amélie minding. On Wednesday we visited West Dean Gardens, near Chichester, as it had been their “Chilli Weekend” over the bank holiday and the produce was still on display – 273 different varieties. Mary-Ann and Andy had visited over the weekend so Amélie had two doses but didn’t seem to mind. I know the lady in charge, Sarah Wain, as she is on the RHS Veg Committee with me, and hosted a celeriac trial on the site last year.

Our Thursday walk started at Shillington which is on the edge of the Chilterns in Bedfordshire. We climbed Deacon Hill which rises to the giddy height (for hereabouts) of 750 feet and affords splendid views. It was just under 11 miles and the last two were in rather chilly rain, but of course it could have been worse.

We were at Moggerhanger yesterday for the first event at the farm since it was acquired last year by a Trust for charitable purposes. About 60 turned up for a concert, BBQ and farm walk raising funds for Moldova and the Farm Trust.
Over 1st team won their last match to clinch promotion, so both teams achieved promotion in the same year – which I can’t remember happening before.
