30th September 2012.




Dear All,



Godalming, Everton, Harvest celebrations and a couple of talks this week.



It was raining in Surrey as usual. We initially took Amélie to Loseley Park near Guilford (built for Elizabeth l) but it was raining too hard to get out of the car. When it did ease up we fed the ducks at Secretts Farm and visited the local RSPCA Donkey Sanctuary. As this housed 33 fairly vocal inmates this met with her approval.

I took some sweet corn cobs and Amélie had no trouble mastering the essential technique!

By contrast our Thursday walk was largely in sunshine starting at Everton (village near Potton not Goodiston Park).

It is our Harvest Thanksgiving weekend starting with a supper last night with a farmer from near Graffham Water as speaker. The decoration of the building was good as always, the meal excellent, the speaker entertaining and the attendance fairly poor.

I expect you have all planted your spring cabbage, overwintered onion sets and garlic and sown overwintered lettuce so won’t need any reminders from me?



I had to update the Women’s Meeting on Moldova on Tuesday and talk to Cottenham Garden Club on Friday.



I have some work in Devon next week so Kate is planning to come with me and stay a couple of extra days.



Love



Mike & Kate
