Dear All,
We had a trip to see “The Lion King” at the Lyceum Theatre on Wednesday. Someone in Over had organised a coach so the journey was very easy and the show excellent (even if I did nod off at a crucial stage!)
The Lion King
I replaced all the broken and cracked panes in our greenhouses this week ready for the winter. It is always a challenge handling large sheets of glass so I was glad to get it over with. I also replanted our strawberry bed which is planted through Mypex (woven plastic sheet) in the fruit cage. It was planted in wet weather and the ground set like concrete so the plants did not thrive. I had rooted some runners and been give some more so it was a matter of getting rid of the old plants, digging out and removing the Mypex, digging, mucking, rotovating and levelling the soil, relaying and burying the edges of the Mypex, adding mycorrhiza to the holes and replanting – doesn’t sound too bad listed like that!.
Strawberry Bed
Our Thursday walk started at Elmdon and went through Duddenhoe End, Littlebury Green and Strethall. It was sunny and an interesting walk with plenty of undulations and leafy lanes and only one cultivated field. Also the crops were more interesting than some weeks with several field beans, maize and canary grass for seed.

It was our last cricket event of the season as we held a double wicket contest to mark 120 years of cricket in Over. The British Legion ladies turned out in force to provide tea and cakes and the weather was fine.
Esther has been up for the weekend. Kate accompanied her to town on a sowing machine hunt yesterday and she did a presentation in church this am about another proposed OT trip to Bulgaria in November. She needs to find £400 for the fare so all donations gratefully received.
Love
Mike & Kate
