16th June 2013


Dear All,

Mary-Ann and Amélie are staying for the weekend while Andy supervises a stag weekend. They arrived yesterday lunchtime and attended Messy Church which  Amélie had no trouble in joining in.

On Tuesday Esther and Mary-Ann had treated Kate to a Pasta making course at Jamie Oliver’s Restaurant in Clapham. Ben turned up as well and grandpa was entrusted with entertaining Amélie on Clapham Common for a couple of hours. The course seemed to be successful and quite a money spinner as they run 5 courses a day for 10 participants at £30 to £45 a head.

Kate finally heard that she was successful in the voluntary job she applied for last October as a “Mental Health Act Manager” and had a training day at Peterborough on Wednesday. It is all to do with assessing people who have been sectioned. The training was for a full day and fairly arduous so her head was spinning when she returned. The whole application process was rather fraught as none of the applicants heard anything for 8 months and promised paperwork never materialised.

Our walk this week started at Cottered near Buntingford in dull but thankfully not wet conditions. We had the first chapel cricket match of the season in the evening so I was not too frisky that night.

The garden is just about full now and we started new potatoes and broad beans this week as well as finding a few strawberries – still I expect they do all those in Waitrose don’t they Graham?

Love


Mike & Kate
