Dear All,
Our Thursday walk was memorable this week. We started in
Godmanchester and proceeded via Hemingford, St Ives and Houghton. After heavy
rain during the week we were soon in ankle deep water and had to re route a
couple of times before eventually having to wade through knee deep water. We
split into two groups and our section ended up damp and weary after 12 miles.

I had a Garden Club talk on Tuesday evening so had to miss a 50th
wedding anniversary of one of our walking colleagues at The Fire Engine House
at Ely. Kate went and as usual the meal was excellent.
I was at Wisley again on Wednesday planning next years’ trials. RHS
income is down due to the weather and maybe the recession? so budgets are under
scrutiny.
The biography subject this week was Sir Joseph Lister father of
antiseptic surgery. He studied what Louis Pasteur was finding about spoilage in
wine and applied it to medicine. He was brought up in the “quiet Essex village of
Upton” which is now the site of Upton Park, West Ham’s football ground!
Esther came up on Friday night and Kate accompanied her to a Craft
Fair in Cambridge Guildhall. I watched half of Over v Chatteris in chilly
drizzle before attending the third session of “Messy Church” There was a good
attendance again which is very encouraging.
Messy Church
I have somehow ended up with four talks to do this week so have had
to spend some time preparing!
Love
Mike & Kate
